I stretch the bow for Rudra, yea, for the arrow, to slay the hater of the holy spell. I make for the people the onset of battle; I have entered into Heaven and Earth.

Ich spanne den Bogen für Rudra, ja für den Pfeil, um den Hasser des Brahman, des heiligen Spruches, zu erschlagen. Für das Volk bereite ich den Ansturm der Schlacht; in Himmel und Erde bin ich eingegangen.
