आ ये रजांसि तविषीभिरव्यत प्र व एवासः स्वयतासो अध्रजन् । भयन्ते विश्वा भुवनानि हर्म्या चित्रो वो यामः प्रयतास्वृष्टिषु ॥

ā ye rajāṃsi taviṣībhiḥ avyata pra va evāsaḥ sva-yatāso adhrajan | bhayante viśvā bhuvanāni harmyā citro vo yāmaḥ pra-yatāsu ṛṣṭiṣu ||

You whose might has woven itself through the wide spaces—forward indeed you rush, self-driven. All worlds grow afraid, even the firm-set abodes, when your many-hued march moves in the outstretched spears: when your disciplined onset goes forth.
