त्वं ज॑घन्थ॒ नमु॑चिं मख॒स्युं दासं॑ कृण्वा॒न ऋष॑ये॒ विमा॑यम् । त्वं च॑कर्थ॒ मन॑वे स्यो॒नान्प॒थो दे॑व॒त्राञ्ज॑सेव॒ याना॑न्
tvaṃ jaghantha namuciṃ makhasyuṃ dāsaṃ kṛṇvāna ṛṣaye vimāyam tvaṃ cakartha manave syonānpatho devatrāñjaseva yānān
You struck down; having made the generous one’s servant for the seers, you fashioned a mansion of wonder. You fashioned paths for men; serve the godly, those who harness the chariots.
You have slain the slave Namuci endeavouring (to disturb) the sacrifice, making his illusionspowerless against the Ṛṣi; you have made easy for Manu the paths to the gods, so as (to make) the waysstraight.
War-loving Namuci thou smotest, robbing the Dasa of his magic for the Rsi. For man thou madest ready pleasant pathways, paths leading as it were directly God-ward.
