अभि त्वा सिन्धो शिशुम् इन् न मातरो वाश्रा अर्षन्ति पयसेव धेनवः । राजेव युध्वा नयसि त्वम् इत् सिचौ यद् आसाम् अग्रम् प्रवताम् इनक्षसि ॥
abhi tvā sindho śiśum in na mātaro vāśrā arṣanti payaseva dhenavaḥ | rājeva yudhvā nayasi tvam it sicau yad āsām agram pravatām inakṣasi ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Like mothers to their calves, like milch kine with their milk, so, Sindhu, unto thee the roaring rivers run. Thou leadest as a warrior king thine army's wings what time thou comest in the van of these swift streams.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
