अश्ववक्त्रो महामेधाः शंभुः शक्रः प्रभञ्जनः मित्रावरुणमूर्तिस्त्वममूर्तिरनघः परः

Transliteration

aśvavaktro mahāmedhāḥ śaṃbhuḥ śakraḥ prabhañjanaḥ mitrāvaruṇamūrtistvamamūrtiranaghaḥ paraḥ

Translation

You are horse-faced and of great intelligence; you are Śambhu, Śakra (Indra), and Prabhañjana (the Wind). You are embodied as Mitra and Varuṇa—yet you are also formless, stainless, and supreme.
