You, O sovereign, established in the assembly like the foremost, knowing the heaven and the high order. Facing east you drive the people, swiftly smiting the foe; you grow victorious among those who follow you. Seized and brought forward, you are the womb of strength for the fierce; the gods and the bright ones bow to you, and you, unrestrained, delight the lovers (or the beloved).
