Transliteration

prānyac cakram avṛhaḥ sūryasya kutsāyānyad varivo yātave akaḥ | anāso dasyū̃r amṛṇo vadhena ni duryoṇa āvṛṇaṅ mṛdhra-vācaḥ ||

Translation

Du rissest ein Rad der Sonne hervor, und für Kutsa schufst du ein anderes — einen weiten Raum zum Gehen. Die nasenlosen Dasyus zerschmettertest du mit dem Schlag; du schlossest sie ein in den bösen Schoß der Finsternis, die mit verkehrter Rede — damit der wahre Weg des Lichts voranschreite.
