Transliteration
yá īṃ rājā́nāv ṛtú-thā ví-dadhad rájaso mitró váruṇaś cíketa(t) | gambhīrā́ya rákṣase hétim asyá dróghāya cid vácasa ā́navāya ||
Translation
ผู้ใดรู้จักกษัตริย์ทั้งสอง—มิตระและวรุณะ—ผู้จัดวางห้วงแดนทั้งหลายให้เป็นไปตามฤดูกาลอันชอบธรรม ขอให้ผู้นั้นหยั่งเห็นอาวุธที่เตรียมไว้ต่อความมืดอันสถิตลึก และแม้ถ้อยคำคดทรยศที่บิดเบือนสัจจะด้วยเถิด
