इम इन्द्र भरतस्य पुत्रा अपपित्वं चिकितुर्न प्रपित्वम् । हिन्वन्त्यश्वमरणं न नित्यं ज्यावाजं परि णयन्त्याजौ ॥

Transliteration

imá indra bharatásya putrā́ apapitváṃ cikitúr ná prapitvám | hinvánty aśvám áraṇaṃ ná nítyaṃ jyā́-vājaṃ pári nayanty ājāú ||

Translation

Putra-putra Bharata ini, wahai Indra, telah memahami seni untuk tidak terjatuh, bukan seni kemerosotan. Mereka memacu kuda yang tak mengenal lelah, bukan yang senantiasa melemah; dalam pertempuran mereka menggiring daya kepenuhan yang kuat-busur (jyā-vāja) mengitari gelanggang menuju kemenangan.
