     परि णो हेती रुद्रस्य वृज्याः परि त्वेषस्य दुर्मतिर्मही गात् ।
     अव स्थिरा मघवद्भ्यस्तनुष्व मीढ्वस्तोकाय तनयाय मृळ ॥

     pari ṇo hetī rudrasya vṛjyāḥ pari tveṣasya durmatirmahī gāt .

     Homage to the blue-necked, to the Thousand-eyed one, to the bountiful.
     And to those that are his warriors I have paid my homage.
