कतरत्त आ हराणि दधि मन्थां परि श्रुतम् । जायाः पतिं वि पृच्छति राष्ट्रे राज्ञः परिक्षितः
Who among you has taken away the curds, the churned and well-filtered? The wife asks her husband in the realm of King Parikṣit.

The ripe barley, swelling, withdraws from the path into its hole; the people prosper in the realm of King Parikṣit.
इन्द्रः कारुमबूबुधदुत्तिष्ठ वि चरा जनम् । ममेदुग्रस्य चर्कृधि सर्व इत्ते पृणादरिः
Indra has awakened the poet; arise, move among the people. Do not praise the fierce one for me; let every enemy be filled by you.

नेमा इन्द्र गावो रिषन् मो आसां गोप रीरिषत्। मासाममित्रयुर्जन इन्द्र मा स्तेन ईशत
Let not these cows, Indra, be harmed; let not their herdsman be injured. Let not any hostile man, Indra, nor thief, have power over them.
