Sukta 4.21
तस्येदिह स्तवथ वृष्ण्यानि तुविद्युम्नस्य तुविराधसो नॄन् । यस्य क्रतुर्विदथ्यो न सम्राट् साह्वान्तरुत्रो अभ्यस्ति कृष्टीः ॥
tásyed ihá stavatha vṛ́ṣṇyāni tuvi-dyumnásya tuvi-rā́dhaso nṝ́n | yásya krátur vidathyò ná sam-rā́ṭ sā́hvān tárutraḥ abhy ásti kṛ́ṣṭīḥ ||
Here praise the virile powers of him of vast radiance and vast plenitude, the leader among men; whose will (kratu) in the assemblies is like an emperor—overcoming, far-bearing, he stands over the peoples, mastering them toward the right order.
