The forest-lords, the forest-born, the herbs and the creeping plants—bipeds and quadrupeds I set in motion, that they may smite that yonder host.
Para penguasa rimba, yang lahir dari hutan, herba ubat (oṣadhi) dan tumbuhan menjalar (vīrudh)—yang berkaki dua dan berkaki empat—aku gerakkan, supaya mereka menumpaskan bala tentera yang di sana itu.
