मूषो न शिश्ना व्य् अदन्ति माध्य स्तोतारं ते शतक्रतो । सकृत् सु नो मघवन्न् इन्द्र मृळयाधा पितेव नो भव ॥
mūṣo na śiśnā vy adanti mādhya stotāraṃ te śatakrato | sakṛt su no maghavann indra mṛḷayādhā piteva no bhava ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
As rats eat weavers' threads, cares are consuming me, thy singer, Gatakratu, me. Have mercy on us once, O Indra, Bounteous Lord: be thou a Father unto us.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
