व्यनिनस्य धनिनः प्रहोषे चिदररुषः । कदा चन प्रजिगतो अदेवयोः ॥
Transliteration
vy aninásya dhanínaḥ prahóṣe cid áraruṣaḥ | kadā́ cana prají-gato ádeva-yoḥ ||
Translation
Du treibst den Knauser und den feindlichen Besitzer auseinander; selbst in ihrem lauten Triumph flammst du gegen sie auf. Niemals, zu keiner Zeit, schreitest du voran mit dem gottlosen Paar — mit denen, die das göttliche Wirken verneinen.
