गिरिर्न यः स्वतवाँ ऋष्व इन्द्रः सनादेव सहसे जात उग्रः । आदर्ता वज्रं स्थविरं न भीम उद्नेव कोशं वसुना न्यृष्टम् ॥

girí r na yáḥ sva-távāṃ ṛ́ṣva índraḥ sanā́d eva sáhase jātá ugráḥ | ā́dartā vájraṃ stháviraṃ na bhīmá udnā́ iva kóśaṃ vásunā ny-ṛ́ṣṭam ||

ಪರ್ವತದಂತೆ ತನ್ನ ಸ್ವಬಲದಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಂತು ಉನ್ನತನಾಗಿರುವನು ಇಂದ್ರ; ಆದಿಯಿಂದಲೇ ಅವನು ಸಹಸಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಜನಿಸಿದ ಉಗ್ರನು. ಅವನು ವಜ್ರವನ್ನು ಧರಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ—ಸ್ಥಿರ, ಭಯಂಕರವಲ್ಲ; ಮತ್ತು ನೀರಿನೊಳಗೆ ಆಳವಾಗಿ ನೆಡಲಾದ ಧನಕೋಶದಂತೆ, ವಸುಗಳಿಂದ ತುಂಬಿದಂತೆ, ಅವನು ಒಳಗೆ ಸಮೃದ್ಧಿಯ ಪೂರ್ಣತೆಗಳನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿದಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
