O Bhava-and-Çarva, I reverence you, know ye that; ye in whose direction is all that shines out (vi-ruc) here, who lord it over these bipeds [and] quadrupeds: do ye free us from distress.

Ye who have taken hold (ā-rabh) of much together in the beginning, if ye have let loose (pra-sṛj) the portent (abhibhā́) among the people (jána): who lord it etc. etc.
adhi no brūtaṃ pṛtanāsūgrau saṃ vajreṇa sṛjataṃ yaḥ kimīdī | staumi bhavāśarvau nāthito johavīmi tau no muñcatam aṃhasaḥ ||7||
Bless us in fights, O formidable ones; visit (sam-sṛj) with [your] thunderbolt whoever is a kimīdín: I praise Bhava-and-Çarva; [as] a suppliant I call loudly on [them]; do ye free us from distress.
