Shloka 7
यो नो द्वेशाारमादाय श्येनराज प्रधावसि । भव त्वं दिवमास्थाय निरमित्रो हिरण्मय:,'श्येनराज! तुम मेरे शत्रुको लेकर उड़े जा रहे हो, इसलिये स्वर्गमें जानेपर तुम्हारा शरीर सोनेका हो जाय और तुम्हारे कोई शत्रु न रह जाय”
yo no dveṣāram ādāya śyenarāja pradhāvasi | bhava tvaṃ divam āsthāya niramitro hiraṇmayaḥ ||
हे श्येनराज! जो हमारे शत्रु को लेकर तुम वेग से जा रहे हो, इसलिए स्वर्ग को प्राप्त करके तुम शत्रुरहित हो जाओ और तुम्हारा शरीर स्वर्णमय हो।

Educational Q&A
Even amid hostility, the speaker’s response is framed as a benediction: the wish is not for further harm but for the end of enmity (niramitra) and for a higher, purified state (divam āsthāya), suggesting an ethical ideal of transcending hatred rather than perpetuating it.
Vaiśaṃpāyana reports a scene where the “king of hawks” is rushing away carrying an enemy of the speaker’s side. In response, the speaker pronounces a boon-like statement: may the hawk attain heaven, become golden-bodied, and have no enemies.
