शत्रुनाशनम् उदितस्त्रयो अक्रमन् व्याघ्रः पुरुषो वृकः । हिरुग्घि यन्ति सिन्धवो हिरुग् देवो वनस्पतिर्हिरुङ्नमन्तु शत्रवः
śatrunā́śanam udítas tráyo akraman vyāghráḥ púruṣo vṛ́kaḥ | hirúk hí yánti síndhavaḥ hirúk devó vanaspátir hirúṅ namantu śátravaḥ ||
For the destruction of foes, arisen, three have strode forth—the tiger, the man, the wolf. ‘Hiruk!’ for the rivers rush; ‘Hiruk!’ the god, the Lord of the Forest: ‘Hiruk!’ let the enemies bow them down.
শত্রুনাশের জন্য, উদিত হয়ে তিনজন অগ্রসর হল—ব্যাঘ্র, পুরুষ, বৃক। ‘হিরুক্!’ বলে নদীগুলি ধাবিত হয়; ‘হিরুক্!’ দেব, বনস্পতির অধিপতি; ‘হিরুক্!’ বলে শত্রুরা নত হোক/ঝুঁকে পড়ুক।
