Transliteration

vātā́so na yé dhúnayo jigatnávो’gnīnā́ṃ na jihvā́ vi-rokíṇaḥ | vármaṇvanto na yodhā́ḥ śimī́vantaḥ pitṝṇā́ṃ na śaṃsā́ḥ su-rā́tayaḥ ||

Translation

Jak wiatry są pędzącymi podmuchami, które rwą naprzód; jak języki ognisk świecą w górę. Jak opancerzeni wojownicy posuwają się z mocą; jak pochwały Ojców są słowami dobrego dawania.
