Shloka 6
दानवैर्युधि भग्ना: सम तथैश्वर्याच्च भ्रंशिता: । तदस्मान्नो भयात् तीव्रात् त्राहि त्वं मुनिपुड्व,“मुनिवर! दानवोंने हमें युद्धमें हटाकर हमारा ऐश्वर्य छीन लिया है। इस तीव्र भयसे आप हमारी रक्षा करें"
dānavair yudhi bhagnāḥ sma tathaivaiśvaryāc ca bhraṃśitāḥ | tad asmān no bhayāt tīvrāt trāhi tvaṃ munipuṅgava ||
‘اے مُنیوں کے سردار! دانَووں نے ہمیں جنگ میں پاش پاش کر دیا اور ہماری حاکمیت بھی چھین لی؛ پس اس سخت خوف سے ہمیں بچائیے، ہماری حفاظت کیجیے۔’
