AVŚ 4.8.7

एना व्याघ्रं परिषस्वजानाः सिंहं हिन्वन्ति महते सौभगाय । समुद्रं न सुभुवस् तस्थिवांसं मर्मृज्यन्ते द्वीपिनम् अप्स्व् अन्तः ॥७॥

enā vyāghraṃ pariṣasvajānāḥ siṃhaṃ hinvanti mahate saubhagāya | samudraṃ na subhuvas tasthivāṃsaṃ marmṛjyante dvīpinam apsv antaḥ ||7||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Thus, embracing the tiger, they incite (hi) the lion unto great good-fortune; as the well-being ones (subhū́) the ocean that stands, do they rub thoroughly down the leopard amid the waters.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
