मही यदि धिषणा शिश्नथे धात्सद्योवृधं विभ्वं रोदस्योः । गिरो यस्मिन्ननवद्याः समीचीर्विश्वा इन्द्राय तविषीरनुत्ताः ॥

Quando a grande Dhīṣaṇā, o entendimento inspirado, se acende e firma a sua obra, ela de pronto amplia o poder que tudo permeia entre os dois mundos. Nele estão as palavras sem falha e harmoniosas; todas as forças irresistíveis oferecidas a Indra, sem superação.
