Sukta 2
आ रोह चर्मोप सीदाग्निमेष देवो हन्ति रक्षांसि सर्वा । इह प्रजां जनय पत्ये अस्मै सुज्यैष्ठ्यो भवत् पुत्रस्त एषः
ā́ roha cárma úpa sīda agním eṣá devó hánti rákṣāṃsi sárvā | ihá prajā́ṃ janaya pátye asmái sujyaíṣṭhyo bhavat putrás ta eṣáḥ ||
Ascend the hide; sit thee down hard by the Fire. This God smiteth all the Rakshases. Here beget thou offspring for this thy lord: may there be good pre-eminence; this shall be thy son.
اصعدي إلى الجلد، واجلسي قريبًا من النار. هذا الإله يضرب جميع الرَّكشَسَة. هنا أنجبي ذريةً لهذا سيّدك؛ ليكن لكِ تفوّقٌ حسن؛ وهذا هو ابنُكِ.
