Asura-destruction. The Asuras, workers of illusion, with iron nets, with iron nooses, barbed, that roam about—those do I, by thee, subject with fiery might, O Jātavedas: thousand-speared, crushing the rivals, do thou protect—O Vajra.
Destruction des Asuras. Les Asuras, artisans de Māyā, avec des filets de fer, avec des lacets de fer, barbelés, qui errent çà et là — ceux-là, par toi, je les soumets par une puissance de feu, ô Jātavedas. Aux mille lances, broyant les rivaux, protège (nous) — ô Vajra.
