AVŚ 11.2.18

श्यावाश्वं कृष्णम् असितं मृणन्तं भीमं रथं केशिनः पादयन्तम् । पूर्वे प्रतीमो नमो अस्त्व् अस्मै ॥१८॥

śyāvāśvaṃ kṛṣṇam asitaṃ mṛṇantaṃ bhīmaṃ rathaṃ keśinaḥ pādayantam | pūrve pratīmo namo astv asmai ||18||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

We go forward (pū́rva) to meet him of dark horses, black, swarthy, killing, fearful, making to fall the chariot of the hairy one (keçín); homage be to him.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
