व्यर्यमा वरुणश्चेति पन्थामिषस्पतिः सुवितं गातुमग्निः । इन्द्राविष्णू नृवदु षु स्तवाना शर्म नो यन्तममवद्वरूथम् ॥

لِيُبَيِّنْ أريامَن وفَرونَةُ الطريقَ؛ ولْيَقُدْنا أَغني، سيّدُ دافعِ القُربان (إِشا)، إلى مَعبَرٍ حسن. إندرا وفيشنو، الممدوحان بقوّةِ الرجال، اجلبا لنا السَّكينة—حِصنًا واقيًا، ودِرعًا حاميًا نافذَ الأثر.
