ā́ paprātha mahinā́ vŕ̥ṣṇyā vr̥ṣán víśvā śaviṣṭha śávāsā | asmā́n áva maghavan gómati vrajé vajrin citrā́bhir ūtíbhiḥ ||
Thou hast spread forth by greatness, by manly vigor, O Bull—thou most mighty, with strength, over all. Protect us, O bounteous one, in the cattle-rich stall, O Vajrin, with thy wondrous aids.
أيها الثور، لقد بسطتَ بعظمتك وبقوة الرجولة؛ أنت الأشدُّ بأسًا، بقوةٍ تعلو كلَّ شيء. احفظْنا، أيها السخيّ، في الحظيرة الغنية بالماشية؛ يا فَجرين، بمعوناتك العجيبة.
