víṣṇoḥ krámo ’si sapatnahā́ pṛthivīsaṁśitó ’gnitéjāḥ | pṛthivī́m ánu ví krame ’háṁ pṛthivyā́s táṁ nirbhajāmo yó ’smā́n dvéṣṭi yáṁ vayáṁ dvíṣmaḥ | sá mā́ jīvit táṁ prāṇó jahātu ||
Thou art Viṣṇu’s Stride, the rival-slayer, whetted on Earth, of Agni’s splendour. Along the Earth I stride forth: from Earth we sunder him—who hateth us, whom we do hate. Let him not live: let breath abandon him.
汝はヴィシュヌ（Viṣṇu）の歩み、対抗者を殺す者。大地において研ぎ澄まされ、アグニ（Agni）の輝きを帯びる。われは大地に沿って歩み進む。大地より彼を切り離す――われらを憎む者、われらが憎む者を。彼は生きるな。プラーナ（prāṇa）、その息を捨て去らしめよ。
