न तं जिनन्ति बहवो न दभ्रा उर्वस्मा अदितिः शर्म यंसत् । प्रियः सुकृत्प्रिय इन्द्रे मनायुः प्रियः सुप्रावीः प्रियो अस्य सोमी ॥
Transliteration
ná táṃ jinanti bahávo ná dabh्रā urv ásmā áditiḥ śárma yaṃsat | priyáḥ su-kṛ́t priyá índre manāyúḥ priyáḥ supra-avī́ḥ priyó asya somī́ ||
Translation
多くも彼に勝てず、少なくとも勝てぬ。アディティが彼に広き安らぎを授けるゆえに。善をなす者として彼は愛され、思いと衝きにおいてインドラに愛され、堅き護りをもつ者として愛され、また彼にとってソーマを携える者も愛しきものとなる。
