Transliteration
sá pū́rvyaḥ pavate yáṃ divás pári śyénō mathā́yad iṣitás tiró rájaḥ | sá mádhva ā́ yuvate vévijāna ít kṛśā́nōr ástuḥ mánasā́ha bíbhyuṣā ||
Translation
Aquel antiguo se purifica y fluye: a quien el halcón trajo de más allá, desde el cielo, a través de la región intermedia. Se apresura con deleite meloso, temblando de poder; aun a Kṛśānu el Arquero, aun su arco, lo temía en su mente.
