Sukta 13

याव॑न्तो मा स॒पत्ना॑नामा॒यन्तं॑ प्रति॒पश्य॑थ । उ॒द्यन्त्सूर्य॑ इव सु॒प्तानां॑ द्विष॒तां वर्च॒ आ द॑दे

yā́vanto mā sapatnā́nām āyántaṃ pratipáśyatha | udyántsū́rya iva suptā́nāṃ dviṣatā́ṃ várca ā́ dade

As many as are my rivals—behold ye them as they come on. Like the Sun uprising over sleepers, I take unto me the splendour of the hateful.

ចំនួនប៉ុន្មានដែលជាសត្រូវប្រជែងរបស់ខ្ញុំ សូមអ្នកទាំងឡាយមើលឃើញពួកគេនៅពេលដែលពួកគេមកដល់ ដូចព្រះអាទិត្យឡើងខ្ពស់លើអ្នកដែលកំពុងដេក ខ្ញុំយកសិរីល្អនៃអ្នកដែលស្អប់ខ្ញុំមករកខ្ញុំ
