īkṣe rāyaḥ kṣayasya carṣaṇīnāmuta vrajamapavartāsi gonām śikṣānaraḥ samitheṣu prahāvānvasvo rāśimabhinetāsi bhūrim
Observe, O king, the wasting of the herds; you have led back the kine that wandered; the swift teams, in the midst of the comrades, send forth thy many-thronged host.
You rule over the riches and the dwellings of men; you are the rescuer of the herd of cattle; you are the giver of the instrumental uction, the smiter in battles, and the distributor of great heaps of riches.
Of wealth and homes of men thou art the ruler, and opener of the stable of the cattle. Helper of men, winner of spoil in combats, thou leadest to an ample heap of riches.
