अजा अन्यस्य वह्नयो हरी अन्यस्य सम्भृता । ताभ्यां वृत्राणि जिघ्नते ॥
Transliteration
ajā́ anyásya váhnayo hárī anyásya sámbhṛtā | tā́bhyāṃ vṛtrā́ṇi jighnate ||
Translation
Siły rozprzęgające (ajāḥ) są dla jednej Mocy; dwa rumaki świetlistej energii (harī) są zgromadzone dla innej. Tymi dwoma powłoki przeszkody (vṛtrāṇi) zostają uderzone, tak droga dla postępu Prawdy zostaje oczyszczona w nas.
