च्युता चेयं बृहत्यच्युता च विद्युद् बिभर्ति स्तनयित्नूंश्च सर्वान्। उद्यन्नादित्यो द्रविणेन तेजसा नीचैः सपत्नान् नुदतां मे सहस्वान्

Moved, yet this great one is unmoved: the lightning beareth all the thunders. Let the rising Āditya, mighty, with wealth and with splendor, thrust my rivals downward and away.
