श॒शः क्षु॒रं प्र॒त्यञ्चं॑ जगा॒राद्रिं॑ लो॒गेन॒ व्य॑भेदमा॒रात् । बृ॒हन्तं॑ चिदृह॒ते र॑न्धयानि॒ वय॑द्व॒त्सो वृ॑ष॒भं शूशु॑वानः
śaśaḥ kṣuraṃ pratyañcaṃ jagārādriṃ logena vyabhedamārāt bṛhantaṃ cidṛhate randhayāni vayadvatso vṛṣabhaṃ śūśuvānaḥ
The hare sharpened a razor and struck through with its fang, tearing the hide as a boar—greatly they cut the entrails, like bulls that lowed.
(Vasukra speaks). The hare graps the assailing beast of prey; with a clod of clay I cleave the distant(mountain); I can compel the great to submit to the small; swelling (with courage) the calf attacks the bulḷ
The hare hath swallowed up the opposing razor: I sundered with a clod the distant mountain. The great will I make subject to the little: the calf shall wax in strength and cat the bullock.
