1

The people urged me, so I bring you, Pūṣan, by the shortest path. The Universal Deities guided me safely. Listen, Dyuhasu has arrived!

2

My ribs torment me, like rival wives, with poverty, nakedness, and exhaustion. My mind flutters like a bird, consumed by cares.

3

Like rats devouring weavers' threads, my cares consume me, the singer of praise, gatakratu. Have mercy on us, O Indra, Bountiful Lord. Be our father.

4

I chose Kurusravana, the priestly seer as my prince, the son of Trasadasyu's son.

3

horses harnessed to the chariot carry me forward; I will praise The one who gives a thousand gifts, The father of Upamasravas, whose words are very sweet, As a fair field is to its master.

5

Mark Upamasravas, his son, mark his grandson of Mitratithi: I am your father's eulogist.

6

If I controlled the Immortals, even if I were Lord of men, My liberal prince would still be alive.

7

Even had he a hundred lives, no one lives beyond the gods' law; I am separated from my friend.
