Transliteration
dárśan nv àtra śṛtá-pā́m̐ anindrā́n bāhú-kṣadaḥ śárave pátyamānān | ghṛ́ṣuṁ vā yé ninidúḥ sákhāyam ádhy ū́ nv èṣu paváyo vavṛtyuḥ ||
Translation
هنا يُرى أولئك الذين يشربون الشراب المطبوخ ومع ذلك هم بلا إندرا—مُلتهمون بالذراع، مندفعون إلى مسار السهم. أو أولئك الذين يعيبون قوّةَ الرفيق؛ عليهم تنقلب الحوافّ المسنونة وتعود.
