Allot to him in the village, among horses, among cows, the choicest portion; whoso is his foe—this man let him be the eminence of powers, O King. O Indra, subject the enemy, subject them all, unto him.
اقسِمْ له في القرية، وبين الخيل، وبين البقر، أطيبَ النصيب؛ ومَن كان عدوًّا له فليُذَلَّ. ليكن هذا الرجلُ ذُروةَ القُوى، أيها الملك. يا إندرا، أخضِعِ العدوَّ، أخضِعْهم جميعًا له.
