muṣāyá sū́ryaṃ kave cakrám ī́śāna ójasā | váha śúṣṇāya vadháṃ kútsaṃ vā́tasya áśvaiḥ ||

Translation

Wahai kavi (resi), rebutlah kembali Surya; genggamlah cakra dengan penguasaan dan kekuatanmu. Hantarkan pukulan bagi Śuṣṇa; angkutlah Kútsa dengan kuda-kuda Vāta—biarlah daya ilahi yang cepat memulihkan cahaya yang hilang dan menimpa sang penimbun sinar.
