Ralph T. H. Griffith, 1896 · 6 verses · Read at the source

10.159.1YON Sun hath mounted up, and this my happy fate hate mounted high. I knowing this, as conqueror have won my husband for mine own.

10.159.2I am the banner and the head, a mighty arbitress am I: I am victorious, and my Lord shall be submissive to my will.

10.159.3My 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.

10.159.4Oblation, 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.

10.159.5Destroyer of the rival wife, Sole Spouse, victorious, conqueror, The others' glory have I seized as 'twere the wealth of weaker Dames.

10.159.6I have subdued as conqueror these rivals, these my fellow-wives, That I may hold imperial sway over this Hero and the folk.
