स हि पुरू चिदोजसा विरुक्मता दीद्यानो भवति द्रुहंतरः परशुर्न द्रुहंतरः । वीळु चिद्यस्य समृतौ श्रुवद्वनेव यत्स्थिरम् । निःषहमाणो यमते नायते धन्वासहा नायते ॥

Transliteration

sá hí purū́ cid ójasā virúkmātā dī́dyāno bhávati druhantaráḥ paraśúr ná druhantaraḥ | vīḷú cid yásya sámṛtau śrúvad vánéva yát sthirám | niḥ-sáhamāṇo yamate ná āyate dhanvā-sáhā ná āyate ||

Translation

Ибо он, даже множеством сил, сияя золотым блеском, становится ещё более грозным поражающим — как топор, ещё более грозным поражающим. Даже твёрдое, словно лесное дерево, уступает ему в столкновении; он, неодолевающий, напирает — не отступает; покоряя широкие просторы, не отступает.
