अवक्रक्षिणं वृषभं यथाजुरम् गां न चर्षणीसहम् । विद्वेषणं संवननोभयंकरं मंहिष्ठम् उभयाविनम् ॥२॥
avakrakṣiṇaṃ vṛṣabhaṃ yathājuram gāṃ na carṣaṇīsaham | vidveṣaṇaṃ saṃvananobhayaṃkaraṃ maṃhiṣṭham ubhayāvinam ||2||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Even him, eternal, like a bull who rushes down, men's Conqueror, bounteous like a cow; Him who is cause of both, of enmity and peace, to both sides most munificent.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 8.1.2; the wording of this text may differ in places.
