सहस्राक्षो विचर्षणिर् अग्नी रक्षांसि सेधति । होता गृणीत उक्थ्यः ॥

sahasrākṣo vicarṣaṇir agnī rakṣāṃsi sedhati | hotā gṛṇīta ukthyaḥ ||

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

Keen and swift Agni, thousand-eyed, chaseth the Raksasas afar: He singeth, herald meet for lauds.
