abhī3dam ekam eko asmi niṣṣāḻ abhī dvā kim u trayaḥ karanti | khale na parṣān prati hanmi bhūri kim mā nindanti śatravo 'nindrāḥ

Against this one I alone am the overpowerer; against two — and what can three do? Like sheaves on the threshing floor I beat down much. How can my foes, who have no Indra, revile me?
