अङहोयुवस तन्वस तन्वते वि वयो महद दुष्टरम पूर्व्याय | स संवतो नवजातस तुतुर्यात सिङहं न करुद्धम अभितः परि षठुः

aṅhoyuvas tanvas tanvate vi vayo mahad duṣṭaram pūrvyāya | sa saṃvato navajātas tuturyāt siṅhaṃ na kruddham abhitaḥ pari ṣṭhuḥ

Averting woe, they labour hard to bring him, the ancient, plenteous food as power resistless. May he, born newly, conquer his assailants: round him they stand as round an angry lion.
