Sukta 8
ए॒ना व्या॒घ्रं प॑रिषस्वजा॒नाः सिं॒हं हि॑न्वन्ति मह॒ते सौभ॑गाय । स॒मु॒द्रं न सु॒भुव॑स्तस्थि॒वांसं॑ मर्मृ॒ज्यन्ते॑ द्वी॒पिन॑म॒प्स्व॑१न्तः
enā́ vyā́ghraṃ pariṣasvajānā́ḥ síṃhaṃ hinvanti mahaté sáubhagāya | samudráṃ ná subhúvaḥ tasthivā́ṃsaṃ marmṛ́jyante dvīpínam apsv àntáḥ
By this, embracing the Tiger round about, they urge on the Lion for mighty good fortune; as (men) within the waters polish the Leopard, firmly set like an ocean, (so is his splendour brought forth).
Dengan ini, memeluk Harimau dari sekeliling, mereka menggerakkan Singa demi keberuntungan yang besar. Seperti (orang) di dalam air menggosok hingga berkilau Macan Tutul, yang tegak kukuh laksana samudra—demikianlah kemilaunya ditampakkan.
