तं नो अग्ने अभी नरो रयिं सहस्व आ भर । स क्षेपयत्स पोषयद्भुवद्वाजस्य सातय उतैधि पृत्सु नो वृधे ॥
Transliteration
táṃ no agne abhī́ náro rayíṃ sahasva ā́ bhara | sá kṣépayat sá póṣayad bhúvad vā́jasya sā́taya utá édhi pṛtsú no vṛ́dhe ||
Translation
يا أغني، احملْ إلينا—لبني البشر منّا—ذلك الغنى، غنى الكينونة؛ واحمله بقوّةٍ ظافرة. فليُسقِطْ المعادي، وليُنمِّ نماءَنا؛ وليكن لنا نيلَ امتلاءِ القوّة (فاجا vāja)، وكنْ أنتَ نماءَنا في المعارك.
