अस॑र्ववीरश्चरतु॒ प्रणु॑त्तो॒ द्वेष्यो॑ मि॒त्राणां॑ परिव॒र्ग्यः॑१ स्वाना॑म्। उ॒त पृ॑थि॒व्यामव॑ स्यन्ति वि॒द्युत॑ उ॒ग्रो वो॑ दे॒वः प्र मृ॑णत् स॒पत्ना॑न्

Let him, expelled, go wandering, bereft of all his champions—hateful to friends, to be shunned of his own. And upon the earth the lightnings are hurled down: your fierce god smiteth the rivals utterly.
असर्ववीरः प्रणुत्तश्चरत्व्, द्वेष्यो मित्राणां परिवर्ग्यः स्वानाम्। उत पृथिव्यामव स्यन्ति विद्युतः; उग्रो वो देवः प्र मृणत् सपत्नान्।
