सूर्य॒ यत् ते॒ हर॒स्तेन॒ तं प्रति॑ हर॒ यो॒३स्मान् द्वेष्टि॒ यं व॒यं द्वि॒ष्मः
sū́rya yát te háras téna táṃ práti hara yó ’smā́n dvéṣṭi yáṃ vayáṃ dvíṣmaḥ
O Sūrya, with that thy burning glare—therewith bear him back, him who hateth us, whom we ourselves do hate.
Hỡi Sūrya, với ánh chói thiêu đốt của ngài—chính bằng đó hãy đẩy trả lại kẻ ấy: kẻ ghét chúng ta, kẻ mà chính chúng ta cũng ghét.
