त्वं दि॒वो बृ॑ह॒तः सानु॑ कोप॒योऽव॒ त्मना॑ धृष॒ता शम्ब॑रं भिनत् । यन्मा॒यिनो॑ व्र॒न्दिनो॑ म॒न्दिना॑ धृ॒षच्छि॒तां गभ॑स्तिम॒शनिं॑ पृत॒न्यसि॑
tvaṃ divo bṛhataḥ sānu kopayo'va tmanā dhṛṣatā śambaraṃ bhinat yanmāyino vrandino mandinā dhṛṣacchitāṃ gabhastimaśaniṃ pṛtanyasi
You shattered the mighty spear of the heaven with anger, O bold one, striking the herd with your strength. What crafty hordes, the slow-moving bands, with stubborn minds you pierced; you cleft the stone-like mass and broke its firmness.
You have shaken the summit of the spacious heaven; you have slain Śambara by your resolute self; you have hurled with exulting and determined mind the sharp and bright-rayed thunderbolt against assembled Asuras.
The ridges of the lofty heaven thou madest shake; thou, daring, of thyself smotest through Sambara, When bold with gladdening juice, thou warredst with thy bolt, sharp and twoedged, against the banded sorcerers.
