Transliteration

imá indra bharatásya putrā́ apapitváṃ cikitúr ná prapitvám | hinvánty aśvám áraṇaṃ ná nítyaṃ jyā́-vājaṃ pári nayanty ājāú ||

Translation

هؤلاء أبناءُ بهاراتا، يا إندرا، قد عرفوا فنَّ ألّا يسقطوا ولا ينحدروا، لا فنَّ التراجع. إنهم يسوقون الفرسَ الذي لا يكلّ، لا الذي يخذل على الدوام؛ وفي المعركة يطوفون بالقوّةِ الممتلئةِ الشديدةِ الوتر (jyā-vāja) نحو الظَّفَر.
