1. YON Sun hath mounted up, and this my happy fate hate mounted high.
     I knowing this, as conqueror have won my husband for mine own.
2. I am the banner and the head, a mighty arbitress am I:
     I am victorious, and my Lord shall be submissive to my will.
3. My Sons are slayers of the foe, my Daughter is a ruling Queen:
     I am victorious: o'er my Lord my song of triumph is supreme.
4. Oblation, that which Indra gave and thus grew glorious and most high,-
     This have I offered, O ye Gods, and rid me of each rival wife.
5. Destroyer of the rival wife, Sole Spouse, victorious, conqueror,
     The others' glory have I seized as 'twere the wealth of weaker Dames.
6. I have subdued as conqueror these rivals, these my fellow-wives,
     That I may hold imperial sway over this Hero and the folk.
