किं स्विन् नो राजा जगृहे कद् अस्याति व्रतं चकृमा को वि वेद । मित्रश् चिद् धि ष्मा जुहुराणो देवाञ् छ्लोको न याताम् अपि वाजो अस्ति ॥
kiṃ svin no rājā jagṛhe kad asyāti vrataṃ cakṛmā ko vi veda | mitraś cid dhi ṣmā juhurāṇo devāñ chloko na yātām api vājo asti ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Hath the King siezed us? How have we offended against his holy ordinance? Who knoweth? For even Mitra mid the Gods is angry there are both song and strength for those who come not.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
