तं शिशीता सवध्वरं सत्यं सत्वानं रत्वियम | उतो नुचिद य ओहत आण्डा शुष्णस्य भेदत्यजैः सवर्वतीरपो नभन्तामन्यके समे

taṃ śiśītā svadhvaraṃ satyaṃ satvānaṃ ṛtviyam | uto nucid ya ohata āṇḍā śuṣṇasya bhedatyajaiḥ svarvatīrapo nabhantāmanyake same

Inspire him worshipped with fair rites, the glorious Hero truly brave. He brake in pieces Śuṣṇa's brood who still expected not the stroke, and won for us the heavenly streams. Let all the others die away.
