परो यत्त्वं परम आजनिष्ठाः परावति श्रुत्यं नाम बिभ्रत् । अतश्चिदिन्द्रादभयन्त देवा विश्वा अपो अजयद्दासपत्नीः ॥

Transliteration

paró yát tvaṁ paramá ā́janiṣṭhāḥ parāváti śrútyaṁ nā́ma bíbhrat | átaś cid índrād abhayanta devā́ víśvā apó ajayad dā́sa-patnīḥ ||

Translation

When you were born supreme, beyond, bearing in the farthest reaches a name that is heard, then even the gods feared Indra. He conquered all the waters that were held in bondage to the Dāsa—freeing the streams of life and clarity.
