न मृषा श्रान्तं यदवन्ति देवा विश्वा इत्स्पृधो अभ्यश्नवाव । जयावेदत्र शतनीथमाजिं यत्सम्यञ्चा मिथुनावभ्यजाव ॥

ná mṛ́ṣā śrā́ntaṃ yád ávanti devā́ víśvā ít spṛ́dho abhy àśnavāva | jayā́ved átra śatánītham ā́jiṃ yát samyáñcā mithunā́v abhy àjāva ||

Nicht vergeblich ist der Ermattete, wenn die Götter ihn stützen; dann können wir beide alle Widerstände der Rivalen überwinden. Hier werden wir den Kampf mit seinen hundert Listen gewinnen, wenn, einmütig voranschreitend, das Paar zum Ansturm drängt.
