nákiṣ ṭvád rathī́taro hárī yád indra yácchase | nákiṣ ṭvā́nu májmanā nákiḥ sváśva ānaśe ||
Translation
હે ઇન્દ્ર! જ્યારે તું દાન આપવા ઇચ્છે છે, ત્યારે તારા બે હરિ (તામ્રવર્ણ) અશ્વો સાથે તારા કરતાં ઉત્તમ રથચાલક કોઈ નથી. તારા મહિમામાં કોઈ તારો અનુગામી નથી; પોતાના જ અશ્વો વડે પણ કોઈ તને પહોંચી શકતો નથી.
