daśa rājānaḥ samitā ayajyavaḥ sudāsamindrāvaruṇā na yuyudhuḥ satyā nṛṇāmadmasadāmupastutirdevā eṣāmabhavandevahūtiṣu
Ten kings, united, declared the rite; they offered to Sudasa, with Indra and Varuna, and did not contend. The truth of men and the praise of the gods were present in their offerings.
The ten confederated irreligious rājās did not prevail, Indra and Varuṇa, against Sudāsa; the praiseof the leaders (of rites), the offerers of sacrificial food, was fruitful; the gods were present at their sacrifices.
Ten Kings who worshipped not, O Indra-Varuna, confederate, in war prevailed not o'er Sudas. True was the boast of heroes sitting at the feast: so at their invocations Gods were on their side.
