hiraṇyadantaṃ śucivarṇam ārāt kṣetrād apaśyam āyudhā mimānam | dadāno asmā amṛtaṃ vipṛkvat kim mām anindrāḥ kṛṇavann anukthāḥ

I saw him from afar gold-toothed, bright-coloured, hurling his weapons from his habitation, What time I gave him Amṛta free from mixture. How can the Indraless, the hymnless harm me?
