अ॒पाम॑स्मै॒ वज्रं॒ प्र ह॑रामि॒ चतु॑र्भृष्टिं शीर्ष॒भिद्या॑य वि॒द्वान्। सो अ॒स्याङ्गा॑नि॒ प्र शृ॑णातु॒ सर्वा॒ तन्मे॑ दे॒वा अनु॑ जानन्तु॒ विश्वे॑
apā́m asmai vájraṃ prá harāmi catúrbhṛṣṭiṃ śīrṣabhídyāya vidvā́n | sá asyā́ṅgāni prá śṛṇātu sárvā tán me devā́ ánu jānantu víśve ||
Away—against him—I bear forth the thunderbolt, four-edged, in knowledge, for the splitting of the head. Let it shatter all his limbs asunder: that for me let all the Gods approve.
मैं दुश्मन के पास एक ऐसा हथौड़ा ले जा रहा हूँ जो चार तरफ से काटता है। इससे उसका सिर फटेगा। यह हथौड़ा उसके पूरा बदन को तोड़ देगा। सारे भगवान मेरी यह बात मानें।
