वक्ष्यन्तीवेद् आ गनीगन्ति कर्णम् प्रियं सखायम् परिषस्वजाना । योषेव शिङ्क्ते वितताधि धन्वञ् ज्या इयं समने पारयन्ती ॥
vakṣyantīved ā ganīganti karṇam priyaṃ sakhāyam pariṣasvajānā | yoṣeva śiṅkte vitatādhi dhanvañ jyā iyaṃ samane pārayantī ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Close to his car, as fain to speak, She presses, holding her well-loved Friend in her embraces. Strained on the Bow, She whispers like a woman-this Bowstring that preserves us in the combat.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
