अपेन्द्र द्विषतो मनो ऽप जिज्यासतो वधम् । वि मन्योः शर्म यच्छ वरीयो यवया वधम् ॥
apendra dviṣato mano 'pa jijyāsato vadham | vi manyoḥ śarma yaccha varīyo yavayā vadham ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Baffle the foeman's plan, ward off his weapon who would conquer us. Give shelter from his furious wrath, and keep his murdering dart afar.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
