Transliteration
índram evá dhiṣáṇā sātáye dhād bṛhántam ṛ́ṣvam ajáraṃ yúvānām | aṣā́ḷhena śávasā śūśuvā́ṃsaṃ sadyáś cid yó vāvṛdhé asā́mi ||
Translation
विजयासाठी धिषणा हिने स्वतः इंद्रालाच स्थापिले—तो महान, उर्ध्वगामी, अजर, सदायुवान. अजेय बळाने, अधिकाधिक तीव्र होत, तो जो क्षणातच अमाप विस्तारापर्यंत वाढतो.
