Transliteration

ví sadyó víśvā dṛṁhitā́ny eṣām índraḥ púraḥ sáhasā saptá dardaḥ | vyā́navasya tṛ́tsave gáyaṁ bhā́g jeṣma pū́ruṁ vidáthe mṛ́dhravācam ||

Translation

Indra, swoją siłą, przełamuje naraz wszystkie utwardzone twierdze przed nimi, siedmiokrotne bariery sił przeszkadzających. Dla dążącej duszy Tṛtsu zdobywa 'Gaya' (pole energii życiowej) jako udział; a w zgromadzeniu świadomości pokonuje Pūru, tego o przewrotnym i wrogim słowie.
