Sukta 21
त्वं कर॑ञ्जमु॒त प॒र्णयं॑ वधी॒स्तेजि॑ष्ठयातिथि॒ग्वस्य॑ वर्त॒नी। त्वं श॒ता वङ्गृ॑दस्याभिन॒त् पुरो॑ऽनानु॒दः परि॑षूता ऋ॒जिश्व॑ना
tváṃ karañjám utá párṇayaṃ vadhīs téjiṣṭhayā atithigvásya vartanī́ | tváṃ śatá vaṅgṛ́dasya abhinát púro ’nānudáḥ páriṣūtā ṛ́jiśvanā
Thou slewest Karañja and also Parṇaya with thy sharpest (force), upon the path of Atithigva. Thou didst shatter the hundreds of Vaṅgṛda’s forts, unyielding, though encompassed round about, with Ṛjiśvan (as ally).
Tyś zabił Karańdżę i również Parńaję swoją najostrzejszą siłą, na ścieżce Atitigwy. Tyś rozbił setki fortów Wangrydy, nieugięty, choć otoczony zewsząd, z Ridźiśwaną jako sprzymierzeńcem.
