Sanskrit Original
दि॒वश्चि॑त्ते बृह॒तो जा॑तवेदो॒ वैश्वा॑नर॒ प्र रि॑रिचे महि॒त्वम् । राजा॑ कृष्टी॒नाम॑सि॒ मानु॑षीणां यु॒धा दे॒वेभ्यो॒ वरि॑वश्चकर्थ
divaścitte bṛhato jātavedo vaiśvānara pra ririce mahitvam rājā kṛṣṭīnāmasi mānuṣīṇāṃ yudhā devebhyo varivaścakartha
Born from the great thought of the sky, Jātavedas, Viśvānara spread great might. O king, you are the tiller of fields among men; in battle you aided the gods and made protection.
Vaiśvānara, who knows all that are born, your magnitude has exceeded that of the spacious heaven; you are the monarch of manu-descended men; you have regained for the gods in battle, the wealth (carries off by the asuras).
Even the lofty heaven, O Jatavedas Vaisvanara, hath not attained thy greatness. Thou art the King of lands where men are settled, thou hast brought comfort to the Gods in battle.
