अ॒दो यद॑व॒रोच॑ते॒ चतु॑ष्पक्षमिव च्छ॒दिः । तेना॑ ते॒ सर्वं॑ क्षेत्रि॒यमङ्गे॑भ्यो नाशयामसि
adó yád avaróc̣ate catúṣpakṣam iva chadíḥ | ténā te sárvaṁ kṣétriyam áṅgebhyo nāśayāmasi |
That which gleams forth yonder, like a four-winged covering—therewith for thee we make to perish the whole kṣetriya from thy limbs.
Was dort drüben aufleuchtet — wie eine vierflügelige Decke — damit lassen wir für dich das ganze kṣetriya aus deinen Gliedern zugrunde gehen.
