दूष्या दूषिर् असि हेत्या हेतिर् असि मेन्या मेनिर् असि । आप्नुहि श्रेयांसम् अति समं क्राम ॥१॥
dūṣyā dūṣir asi hetyā hetir asi menyā menir asi | āpnuhi śreyāṃsam ati samaṃ krāma ||1||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Spoiler's spoiler (dū́ṣi) art thou; missile's missile (hetí) art thou; weapon's weapon (mení) art thou: attain (āp) the better one, step beyond the equal (samá).
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
