प्र सुन्वानस्यान्धसो मर्तो न वृत तद्वचः । अप श्वानमराधसं हता मखं न भृगवः ॥
Transliteration
prá sunvāná syā́ndhasaḥ márto ná vṛta tád vácaḥ | ápa śvā́nam arā́dhasaṃ hatā́ mákhaṃ ná bhṛ́gavaḥ ||
Translation
ขอถ้อยคำจงก้าวออกมาจากความหวานที่คั้นแล้ว อย่าให้ถูกกักไว้ดุจถ้อยคำของปุถุชน จงขับไล่ศัตรูผู้เห่าหอนซึ่งไม่ก่อผลอันชอบธรรม จงฟาดฟันให้ล้ม—ดุจเหล่าภฤคุ (Bhṛgu) ฟาดแรงกีดขวางในพิธีบูชา
