Mantra 7
Sukta 10
धूमाक्षी सं पततु कृधुकर्णी च क्रोशतु । त्रिषंधेः सेनया जिते अरुणाः सन्तु केतवः
dhūmākṣī́ sáṃ patatu kṛdhukárṇī ca krośatu | triṣaṃ́dheḥ sénayā jitè aruṇā́ḥ santu ketávaḥ ||
Let the smoke-eyed swoop down full; and let Kṛdhukarṇī shriek aloud. With the host of Triṣaṃdhi, when conquest is won, let the signals be ruddy—tokens of victory.
Que la de ojos de humo se abalance por completo; y que Kṛdhukarṇī grite con fuerza. Con la hueste de Triṣaṃdhi, cuando la victoria esté ganada, que las señales sean rojizas — signos de triunfo.
