शत्रुश् च ते ऽग्रबल दुर्बलभग्नशूको शीघ्रं तपेतु तव तेजवराभिभूतः ।
आसा च ते नरलम्बक महार्थयुक्ता संपूर्यतां कनकपर्वतसन्निकाशा ॥ ८३ ॥
śatruś ca te 'grabala durbalabhagnaśūko śīghraṃ tapetu tava tejavarābhibhūtaḥ |

“O sturdy steed, may your adversary be quickly overcome, like a feeble and broken awn of barley, vanquished by your matchless might. May your hope be fulfilled, O boon of men, and enriched as with mountains of gold. (83)
