यदज्ञा॑तेषु वृ॒जने॒ष्वासं॒ विश्वे॑ स॒तो म॒घवा॑नो म आसन् । जि॒नामि॒ वेत्क्षेम॒ आ सन्त॑मा॒भुं प्र तं क्षि॑णां॒ पर्व॑ते पाद॒गृह्य॑
yadajñāteṣu vṛjaneṣvāsaṃ viśve sato maghavāno ma āsan jināmi vetkṣema ā santamābhuṃ pra taṃ kṣiṇāṃ parvate pādagṛhya
When in the unknown folds of the herds all the generous hosts were present, I perceived welfare: I took the weakened ones to the hills, seizing them by the feet.
When I enter upon unprecedented combats, then all those who are affluent in oblations approach meso engaged; I destroy the mighty and overpowering foe for the protection of the world, and, seizing him by thefeet, throw him down from the mountain.
While yet my deeds of might were unrecorded, all passed for Maghavans though I existed. The potent one who dwelt in peace I conquered, grasped by the foot and slew him on the mountain.
