10.159.1

उद॒सौ सूर्यो॑ अगा॒दुद॒यं मा॑म॒को भगः॑ ।
अ॒हं तद्वि॑द्व॒ला पति॑म॒भ्य॑साक्षि विषास॒हिः ॥

That sun has risen, and here my fortune has risen too. Knowing this, victorious over rivals, I have prevailed over my husband.

अ॒हं के॒तुर॒हं मू॒र्धाहमु॒ग्रा वि॒वाच॑नी ।
ममेदनु॒ क्रतुं॒ पतिः॑ सेहा॒नाया॑ उ॒पाच॑रेत् ॥

I am the banner, I am the head; I am fierce and eloquent. Following my own resolve, may my husband come to her who has overcome.

मम॑ पु॒त्राः श॑त्रु॒हणोऽथो॑ मे दुहि॒ता वि॒राट् ।
उ॒ताहम॑स्मि संज॒या पत्यौ॑ मे॒ श्लोक॑ उत्त॒मः ॥

My sons are enemy-slayers, and my daughter is a brilliant ruler. I am also victorious in battle; in my husband my praise is highest.

येनेन्द्रो॑ ह॒विषा॑ कृ॒त्वी अभ॑वद्द्यु॒म्न्यु॑त्त॒मः ।
इ॒दं तद॑क्रि देवा असप॒त्ना किला॑भुवम् ॥

By the same oblation by which Indra, having acted, became glorious and supreme, I have done this. O gods, I have indeed become unrivalled.

अ॒स॒प॒त्ना स॑पत्न॒घ्नी जय॑न्त्यभि॒भूव॑री ।
आवृ॑क्षम॒न्यासां॒ वर्चो॒ राधो॒ अस्थे॑यसामिव ॥

Unrivalled, destroying rivals, victorious, overpowering, I have drawn hither the radiance and wealth of the others, as of those who stand firm.

सम॑जैषमि॒मा अ॒हं स॒पत्नी॑रभि॒भूव॑री ।
यथा॒हम॒स्य वी॒रस्य॑ वि॒राजा॑नि॒ जन॑स्य च ॥

I have completely conquered these rivals; I am the one who overpowers them, so that I may rule over this hero and over these people.
