Sanskrit Original
अ॒ह॒स्ता यद॒पदी॒ वर्ध॑त॒ क्षाः शची॑भिर्वे॒द्याना॑म् । शुष्णं॒ परि॑ प्रदक्षि॒णिद्वि॒श्वाय॑वे॒ नि शि॑श्नथः
ahastā yadapadī vardhata kṣāḥ śacībhirvedyānām śuṣṇaṃ pari pradakṣiṇidviśvāyave ni śiśnathaḥ
When trouble increased in the place that was fallen, Shačī's swift ones were seen needing help. The warm one went around in the airy world and pierced it.
When the earth which has neither hands nor feet flourished throught the acts of (devotion paid to) theadorable (deities), then you did smite down Śuṣṇa, circumambulating it on the right, for the sake of Viśvāyu.
That Earth, through power of knowing things that may be known, handless and footless yet might thrive, Thou slewest, turning to the right, gu;na for every living man.
