2.22.14

yan maṅgalaṃ suparṇasya vinatākalpayat purā
amṛtaṃ prārthayānasya tat te bhavatu maṅgalam

'Such blessings as the Gods o'erjoyed
Poured forth, when Vritra was destroyed,
On Indra of the thousand eyes,
Attend, my child, thine enterprise!
Yea, such as Vinatá once gave
To King Suparna swift and brave,
Who sought the drink that cheers the skies,
Attend, my child, thine enterprise!
Yea, such as, when the Amrit rose,
And Indra slew his Daitya foes,
The royal Aditi bestowed
On Him whose hand with slaughter glowed
Of that dire brood of monstrous size,
Attend, my child, thine enterprise!
E'en such as peerless Vishnu graced,
When with his triple step he paced,
Outbursting from the dwarf's disguise,
Attend, my child, thine enterprise!
Floods, isles, and seasons as they fly,
Worlds, Vedas, quarters of the sky,
Combine, O mighty-armed, to bless
Thee destined heir of happiness!'

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1870, The Rámáyan of Válmíki, translated into English verse
