नि षू नमातिमतिं कयस्य चित्तेजिष्ठाभिररणिभिर्नोतिभिरुग्राभिरुग्रोतिभिः । नेषि णो यथा पुरानेनाः शूर मन्यसे । विश्वानि पूरोरप पर्षि वह्निरासा वह्निर्नो अच्छ ॥

اخفِضْ حقًّا ذلك العقلَ المتجاوزَ للحدود—لِمَن كان—بإيقاداتِكَ الأشدِّ حدّةً وبمعوناتِكَ العنيفةِ القويّة. قدْنا كما في الطريقِ القديم، أيّها البطل، كما تعلم. اطردْ عن بورو (Pūru) كلَّ القوى المعادية؛ يا حاملَ اللهيب، تعالَ—كُنِ اللهيبَ الآتي إلينا.
