etā́ vo vaśmy údyatā yajatrā́ átakṣann ā́yavo návyase sám | śravasyávo vā́jaṃ cakānā́ḥ saptír ná rathyó áha dhī́tim aśyāḥ ||

هذه الكلماتُ أصوغُها وأرفعُها لكم، أيها المستحقّون للقرابين؛ لقد صاغها الرِّشي (العارفون) من جديدٍ لتغدو انسجامًا. طامحين إلى شرفِ الإلهام، راغبين في vāja (فيضِ القوّة)، لعلّنا نبلغُ dhīti (الفكرةَ الموجَّهة)—كجوادٍ محكمِ النير، صالحٍ للعربة—سريعًا في طريقِ المسير.
