Sanskrit Original
यं मे॒ दुरिन्द्रो॑ म॒रुतः॒ पाक॑स्थामा॒ कौर॑याणः । विश्वे॑षां॒ त्मना॒ शोभि॑ष्ठ॒मुपे॑व दि॒वि धाव॑मानम्
yaṃ me durindro marutaḥ pākasthāmā kaurayāṇaḥ viśveṣāṃ tmanā śobhiṣṭhamupeva divi dhāvamānam
May that hostile Marut, standing opposite, be to me as the runner who shines with all forms; may he, with all beings’ spirit, adorn and chase across the sky.
Such wealth as Indra and the Maruts have bestowed upon me, such has Pākasthāman, the son ofKurayāṇa, bestowed, of itself the most magnificent of all, like the quick-moving (sun) in the sky.
The fairest courser of them all, who runneth on as 'twere to heaven. Which Indra and the Maruts gave, and Pakasthaman Kaurayan.
