Transliteration
tigṁáṃ cid éma máhi várpo asyá bhásad áśvo na yamasāná āsā́ | vi-jéhamānaḥ paraśúr na jihvā́ṃ dravír na drāvayati dā́ru dhákṣat ||
Translation
การพุ่งเข้าของท่านแหลมคมยิ่ง รูปโฉมของท่านยิ่งใหญ่; ท่านหอบเหมือนม้าที่ฝืนแรงด้วยปากอ้า. ท่านสะบัดลิ้นดุจขวานที่กำลังฟัน; ดุจช่างหลอมท่านทำให้ละลาย—ท่านได้เผาไม้เสียแล้ว.
