Sukta 8
ए॒ना व्या॒घ्रं प॑रिषस्वजा॒नाः सिं॒हं हि॑न्वन्ति मह॒ते सौभ॑गाय । स॒मु॒द्रं न सु॒भुव॑स्तस्थि॒वांसं॑ मर्मृ॒ज्यन्ते॑ द्वी॒पिन॑म॒प्स्व॑१न्तः
enā́ vyā́ghraṃ pariṣasvajānā́ḥ síṃhaṃ hinvanti mahaté sáubhagāya | samudráṃ ná subhúvaḥ tasthivā́ṃsaṃ marmṛ́jyante dvīpínam apsv àntáḥ
By this, embracing the Tiger round about, they urge on the Lion for mighty good fortune; as (men) within the waters polish the Leopard, firmly set like an ocean, (so is his splendour brought forth).
Przez to, obejmując Tygrysa dokoła, popędzają Lwa dla potężnego szczęścia; jak w wodach polerują Lamparta, mocno stojącego jak ocean, (tak jego splendor jest wydobywany).
