You carry the ascetic's staff in your hands. You have the three Vedas for your three eyes. Your chastisements are fierce and severe. You are the destroyer of the egg. You are the drinker of both poison and fire, you are the foremost of all gods, you are drinker of Soma, you are the lord of the Maruts.
दण्डधारस्त्र्यम्बकश्च उग्रदण्डोऽण्डनाशनः। विषाग्निपाः सुरश्रेष्ठः सोमपास्त्वं मरुत्पतिः॥
