jajñāno harito vṛṣā viśvamā bhāti rocanam haryaśvo haritaṃ dhatta āyudhamā vajraṃ bāhvorharim
Knowledge-bearing Hari shines with ample bulls; all‑encompassing light glows bright. Hari’s horses bear green life; weapons and thunderbolt are in his hands.
The azure-coloured showerer (of benefits), illumes, as soon as born, the whole luminous region; the lord of the tawny steeds holds in his hands the yellow weapon, the destroying thunderbolt.
When born to life the golden Bull illumines all the realm of light. He takes his golden weapon, Lord of Tawny Steeds, the golden thunder in his arms.
