ahám átkaṃ kaváye śiśnathaṃ háthaiḥ aháṃ kútsam ā́vam ābhír ūtíbhiḥ | aháṃ śúṣṇasya śnáthitā vádhar yámam ná yó ráre ā́ryaṃ nā́ma dásyave ||

Rozbiłem Atkę dla wieszcza moimi ciosami; ocaliłem Kutsę moją pomocą. Byłem łamaczem Śuṣṇy, śmiercią jak Jama dla tego, kto chciał oddać aryjskie imię Dasyu.
