Fixed for thee let king Varuṇa, fixed let divine Brihaspati, fixed for thee let both Indra and Agni maintain royalty fixed.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
ध्रुवो ऽच्युतः प्र मृणीहि शत्रून् छत्रूयतो ऽधरान् पादयस्व । सर्वा दिशः संमनसः सध्रीचीर् ध्रुवाय ते समितिः कल्पताम् इह ॥३॥
dhruvo 'cyutaḥ pra mṛṇīhi śatrūn chatrūyato 'dharān pādayasva | sarvā diśaḥ saṃmanasaḥ sadhrīcīr dhruvāya te samitiḥ kalpatām iha ||3||
Fixed, unmoved, do thou slaughter the foes; make them that play the foe fall below [thee]; [be] all the quarters (díç) like-minded, concordant (sadhryàñc); let the gathering (sámiti) here suit (kḷp) thee [who art] fixed.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
