Sanskrit Original
कृ॒तं न श्व॒घ्नी वि चि॑नोति॒ देव॑ने सं॒वर्गं॒ यन्म॒घवा॒ सूर्यं॒ जय॑त् । न तत्ते॑ अ॒न्यो अनु॑ वी॒र्यं॑ शक॒न्न पु॑रा॒णो म॑घव॒न्नोत नूत॑नः
kṛtaṃ na śvaghnī vi cinoti devane saṃvargaṃ yanmaghavā sūryaṃ jayat na tatte anyo anu vīryaṃ śakanna purāṇo maghavannota nūtanaḥ
The mighty (Maghavan) did not cut down what the strong-smelling one had made; the Sun, the powerful, conquered that assembly of gods. Neither the ancient nor the new can there oppose his might.
As a gambler at plural y selects his adversary, so does Maghavat when he overcomes the rain-bestowingsun; no one, Maghavat, ancient or modern, is able to imitate this your vigour.
As in the game a gambler piles his winnings, so Maghavan, sweeping all together, gained the Sun This mighty deed of thine none other could achieve, none, Maghavan, before thee, none in recent time.
