Sanskrit (Devanagari)

यो जिनाति तमन्विच्छ यो जिनाति तमिज्जहि । जिनतो वज्र त्वं सीमन्तमन्वञ्चमनु पातय

IAST Transliteration

yó jinā́ti tám ánv ìccha yó jinā́ti tám íj jahi | jinató vájra tváṃ sīmántam anváñcam ánu pātaya

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Whoso assails—seek him out; whoso assails—him verily smite. O Vajra, thou, pursuing the assailant even to the boundary, strike him down as thou followest after.

Translation

Kẻ nào xông đến hại—hãy truy tìm hắn; kẻ nào xông đến hại—hãy thật sự đánh hắn. Hỡi Vajra (Kim Cang), ngươi hãy đuổi theo kẻ tấn công ấy đến tận ranh giới, và khi truy đuổi, hãy quật hắn ngã.
