yad indra yāvatas tvam etāvad aham īśīya | stotāram id didhiṣeya radāvaso na pāpatvāya rāsīya ||1||
If I, O Indra, were the Lord of riches ample as thine own, I should support the singer, God. who givest wealth! and not abandon him to woe.

शिक्षेयम् इन् महयते दिवेदिवे राय आ कुहचिद्विदे । नहि त्वद् अन्यन् मघवन् न आप्यं वस्यो अस्ति पिता चन ॥२॥
śikṣeyam in mahayate divedive rāya ā kuhacidvide | nahi tvad anyan maghavan na āpyaṃ vasyo asti pitā cana ||2||
Each day would I enrich the man who sang my praise, in whatsoever place he were. No kinship is there better, Maghavan, than thine: a father even is no more.
