As He, the worlds who formed and planned,

The kingship gave to Indra's hand.

Then shall mine eyes my king adore

When lustral rites and fast are o'er,

And black deer's skin and roebuck's horn

Thy lordly limbs and hand adorn.

May He whose hands the thunder wield

Be in the east thy guard and shield;

May Yáma's care the south befriend,

And Varuṇ's arm the west defend;
