Who is he who praises, who with song and worship propitiates the mighty one so that the strong, widespread hero may know the offering? Like feet smiting others he makes one differ from another, first and later, with counsels of the strong‑minded.

Who may (adequately) praise him? Who may satisfy him? Who offer worthy adoration? Since Maghava is daily conscious of his own terrible (power); by his acts he makes first one and then the other precede and follow, as (a man) throws out his feet (alternately in walking).

Who lauds him, satisfies him, pays him worship? E'en the rich noble still hath found him mighty. With power, as when one moves his feet alternate, he makes the last precede, the foremost follow.
