ime hi yuddheṣvanivartitāśā
hayāḥ suparṇena samānavegāḥ |
śrīmatsu kāmbojakuleṣu jātāḥ
rakṣantumāṃ yadyapi rakṣitavyam || 13 ||

These horses, whose hopes are never turned back in battles, / possessing speed equal to Suparṇa, / born in glorious Kāmboja lineages, / let them protect me, if indeed I am to be protected! || 13
