अधूमवह्निदेहश्रीः श्रान्तोऽपि दैन्यमप्यलम् ।
तमोऽहरन्नृणां नैशं द्युमणिर्वेश्मनामिव ॥ ६ ॥

tamo'harannṛṇāṃ naiśaṃ dyumaṇirveśmanāmiva || 6 ||

He was as bright in his person, as the blazing fire without its smoke, and was never weak even when he was tired in the discharge of his duties. He drove away poverty from the abodes of men, as the rising sun dispels the darkness of night from within their houses.
