tā́ vāṃ dhíyo’váse vāja-yántīr ā́jiṃ ná jagmur yuva-yū́ḥ sudānū | śríye ná gā́va úpa sómam asthur índraṃ gíro váruṇaṃ me manīṣā́ḥ ||

Translation

Yeh sab achhi sochen tumhare paas madad ke liye aayi hain, jaise koi daud mein partipakshi ke paas jaata hai. Jaise gaay apni shaan ke liye Soma ke paas khadi hoti hai, waise hi yeh sochen aayi hain. Meri baatein Indra ke paas jaati hain, aur mere khayal Varuna ke paas jaate hain.
