sa vrādhataḥ śavasānebhirasya kutsāya śuṣṇaṃ kṛpaṇe parādāt ayaṃ kavimanayacchasyamānamatkaṃ yo asya sanitota nṛṇām
He, vigorous with the strength of sacrificial oblations, struck with reproach and fierce force, giving the ruthless blow. This one calls the seer to mind; he, joined with him, is set against men.
Let him overthrow the mighty with powerful (weapons); he destroyed Śuṣṇa for the sake of the liberalKutsa; he humiliated Kavi, who praised him, who was the giver of form to Indra and his men.
He with his potent Friends gave up the mighty, gave gusnia up to Kutsa for affliction. He led the lauded Kavi, he delivered Atka as prey to him and to his heroes.
