आ ये रजांसि तविषीभिरव्यत प्र व एवासः स्वयतासो अध्रजन् । भयन्ते विश्वा भुवनानि हर्म्या चित्रो वो यामः प्रयतास्वृष्टिषु ॥

ā ye rajāṃsi taviṣībhiḥ avyata pra va evāsaḥ sva-yatāso adhrajan | bhayante viśvā bhuvanāni harmyā citro vo yāmaḥ pra-yatāsu ṛṣṭiṣu ||

Oh vosotros, cuya potencia, con sus fuerzas, ha tejido las vastas regiones: hacia delante, en verdad, os precipitáis, impulsados por vosotros mismos. Todos los mundos temen, aun las moradas firmemente asentadas, cuando vuestra marcha multicolor avanza entre las lanzas extendidas, cuando sale vuestro ataque disciplinado, contenido.

towards, hither
