सूर्य॒ यत् ते॑ शो॒चिस्तेन॒ तं प्रति॑ शोच॒ यो॒३स्मान् द्वेष्टि॒ यं व॒यं द्वि॒ष्मः
sū́rya yát te śóciḥ ténā táṃ práti śoca yó ’smā́n dvéṣṭi yáṃ vayáṃ dvíṣmaḥ
O Sūrya, with that flame of thine—therewith scorch him in requital—who hateth us, whom we ourselves do hate.
太陽神スーリヤよ、汝のその炎光をもって、まさにそれにより報いとして彼を焼き焦がせ——われらを憎む者、われらが憎むその者を。
