Transliteration
ayáṃ śṛṇve ádha jáyann utá ghnann ayám utá prá kṛṇute yudhā́ gā́ḥ | yadā́ satyáṃ kṛṇuté manyúm índro víśvaṃ dṛḷháṃ bhayate éjad asmāt ||
Translation
هذا هو الذي يُسمَع—ثمّ يَغلب ويَضرب؛ وهذا هو الذي يَظفر بالأشعّة (gāḥ) في القتال. وحين يجعل إندرا غضبه قوّةَ الحقّ، يرتجف كلُّ ما هو راسخٌ خوفًا بين يديه.
