AVŚ 5.21.4

यथा मृगाः संविजन्त आरण्याः पुरुषाद् अधि । एव त्वं दुन्दुभे ऽमित्रान् अभि क्रन्द प्र त्रासयाथो चित्तानि मोहय ॥४॥

yathā mṛgāḥ saṃvijanta āraṇyāḥ puruṣād adhi | eva tvaṃ dundubhe 'mitrān abhi kranda pra trāsayātho cittāni mohaya ||4||

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

As the wild beasts of the forest are all in a tremble at man, so do thou, O drum, roar at [and] alarm our enemies, then confound their intents.
