अद्रोघ सत्यं तव तन्महित्वं सद्यो यज्जातो अपिबो ह सोमम् । न द्याव इन्द्र तवसस्त ओजो नाहा न मासाः शरदो वरन्त ॥
Transliteration
ádrogha satyáṃ táva tán mahitváṃ sadyó yáj jā́to ápībo há sómam | ná dyā́va indra távasas tá ojó náhā ná māsā́ḥ śarádo varanta ||
Translation
يا من لا عيب فيه، حقٌّ هي عظمتك: أنّك ما إن وُلِدتَ حتى شربتَ السُّوما. ولا تستطيع السماوات، يا إندرا، أن تكبح بأسَ قوّتك—لا الأيام، ولا الشهور، ولا السنين تكفّها.
