उपेम् असृक्षि वाजयुर् वचस्यां चनो दधीत नाद्यो गिरो मे । अपां नपाद् आशुहेमा कुवित् स सुपेशसस् करति जोषिषद् धि ॥
upem asṛkṣi vājayur vacasyāṃ cano dadhīta nādyo giro me | apāṃ napād āśuhemā kuvit sa supeśasas karati joṣiṣad dhi ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Eager for spoil my flow of speech I utter: may the Floods' Child accept my songs with favour. Will not the rapid Son of Waters make them lovely, for he it is who shall enjoy them?
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
