Allot to him in the village, among horses, among cows, the choicest portion; whoso is his foe—this man let him be the eminence of powers, O King. O Indra, subject the enemy, subject them all, unto him.
В деревне, среди коней, среди коров удели ему наилучшую долю; кто ему враг — пусть тот будет лишён своей доли. Да будет этот муж вершиной властей, о Царь. О Индра, покори ему врага; покори ему всех.
