IAST Transliteration
samrā́ḍ asy ásurāṇāṃ kakún manuṣyā̀ṇām | devā́nām ardhabhā́go asi tvám ekavṛṣó bhava
English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)
Thou art the Sovran of the Asuras, the crest and eminence of men. Thou art the Gods’ allotted half-share: do thou become the single Bull, unrivalled.
Translation
ਤੂੰ ਅਸੁਰਾਂ ਦਾ ਸਮਰਾਟ ਹੈਂ; ਮਨੁੱਖਾਂ ਦਾ ਕਕੁਦ—ਚੋਟੀ ਅਤੇ ਮਹਾਨਤਾ। ਦੇਵਤਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਅਰਧ-ਭਾਗ—ਨਿਯਤ ਹਿੱਸਾ—ਤੂੰ ਹੀ ਹੈਂ। ਤੂੰ ਏਕਵ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਭ ਬਣ, ਬੇਮਿਸਾਲ, ਅਜਿੱਤ।
