Transliteration
tvā́ṃ hí mandrá-tamam arka-śokáir vavṛmáhe máhi naḥ śróṣy agne | índraṃ na tvā śávasā devátā vāyúṃ pṛṇanti rā́dhasā nṛ́-tamāḥ ||
Translation
فإنّا قد اخترناك، يا أبهجَهم، بلهيبِ المانترا؛ فاسمعْنا، يا أغني، لخيرِنا العظيم. وكما يملأ الآلهةُ إندرا بالقوّة ويملأون ڤايو بالعطاء، كذلك يملأك خِيارُ الناس قدرةً ووفاءً.
