भवानुशनसा तुल्यो हितैषी च सदा मम । असंहार्यः स्थितो धर्मे स नः सेनापतिर्भव॥५-१५३-११॥

You are comparable to Uśanas (Śukra) and are ever my well-wisher. Unassailable, established in dharma—therefore, be our commander.

रश्मीवतामिवादित्यो वीरुधामिव चन्द्रमाः । कुबेर इव यक्षाणां मरुतामिव वासवः॥५-१५३-१२॥

Like the Sun among luminous bodies, like the Moon among plants, like Kubera among the Yakṣas, and like Vāsava (Indra) among the Maruts—

पर्वतानां यथा मेरुः सुपर्णः पततामिव । कुमार इव भूतानां वसूनामिव हव्यवाट्॥५-१५३-१३॥

As Meru among mountains; as Suparṇa (Garuḍa) among those that fly; as Kumāra (Skanda) among the Bhūtas; and as Havyavāṭ (Agni) among the Vasus—

भवता हि वयं गुप्ताः शक्रेणेव दिवौकसः । अनाधृष्या भविष्यामस्त्रिदशानामपि ध्रुवम्॥५-१५३-१४॥

Protected by you, we shall be like the celestial beings guarded by Śakra (Indra). We will certainly become unassailable—even to the gods.

May you go before us, like Agni at the head of the gods. We shall follow you, as cattle follow the bull.
