English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Born on the Tiger-day, a hero—asterism-born—being born, a well-heroed one: let him, as he grows, not slay the father; let him not, in any wise, harm the mother, the very birth-giver.

Translation

ବ୍ୟାଘ୍ରେ-ଅହ୍ନି (ବ୍ୟାଘ୍ର-ଦିନରେ) ନକ୍ଷତ୍ରଜ—ନକ୍ଷତ୍ରରୁ ଜନ୍ମିତ—ବୀର ଜନ୍ମିଲା, ସୁବୀର (ଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ ବୀରପୁତ୍ର-ଯୁକ୍ତ) ହୋଇ। ସେ ବଢ଼ୁଥିବାବେଳେ ମୋ ପିତାଙ୍କୁ ନ ମାରୁ; ଏବଂ ଜନିତ୍ରୀ ମୋ ମାତାଙ୍କୁ କୌଣସି ପ୍ରକାରେ ହାନି ନ କରୁ।
