अभ्रातृव्योऽअना त्वम् अनापिर् इन्द्र जनुषा सनाद् असि । युधेद् आपित्वम् इछसे ॥१॥
abhrātṛvyo'anā tvam anāpir indra januṣā sanād asi | yudhed āpitvam ichase ||1||

नकी रेवन्तं सख्याय विन्दसे पीयन्ति ते सुराश्वः । यदा कृणोषि नदनुं सम् ऊहस्य् आद् इत् पितेव हूयसे ॥२॥
nakī revantaṃ sakhyāya vindase pīyanti te surāśvaḥ | yadā kṛṇoṣi nadanuṃ sam ūhasy ād it piteva hūyase ||2||
Thou findest not the wealthy man to be thy friend: those scorn thee who are flown with wine. What time thou thunderest and gatherest, then thou, even as a Father, art invoked.
