न मृषा श्रान्तं यदवन्ति देवा विश्वा इत्स्पृधो अभ्यश्नवाव । जयावेदत्र शतनीथमाजिं यत्सम्यञ्चा मिथुनावभ्यजाव ॥

ná mṛ́ṣā śrā́ntaṃ yád ávanti devā́ víśvā ít spṛ́dho abhy àśnavāva | jayā́ved átra śatánītham ā́jiṃ yát samyáñcā mithunā́v abhy àjāva ||

ദേവന്മാർ ക്ഷീണിതനെ താങ്ങുമ്പോൾ അവൻ വ്യർത്ഥനല്ല; അപ്പോൾ ഞങ്ങൾ ഇരുവരും എല്ലാ മത്സരങ്ങളെയും വൈരങ്ങളെയും കീഴടക്കാം. ഇവിടെ നൂറു തന്ത്രങ്ങളുള്ള ഈ യുദ്ധം ഞങ്ങൾ ജയിക്കട്ടെ—ഒരുമിച്ച് നീങ്ങുന്ന ഈ ജോടി ആക്രമണത്തിലേക്ക് തള്ളിപ്പോകുമ്പോൾ.
