स वाज्यर्वा स ऋषिर्वचस्यया स शूरो अस्ता पृतनासु दुष्टरः । स रायस्पोषं स सुवीर्यं दधे यं वाजो विभ्वाँ ऋभवो यमाविषुः ॥

sá vājý arvā́ sá ṛ́ṣir vacasyáyā sá śū́ro ástā pṛ́tanāsu dúṣṭaraḥ | sá rāyás póṣaṃ sá su-vī́ryaṃ dadhē yáṃ vājó víbhvāṃ ṛbhávo yám ā́viṣuḥ ||

সে হয় বায্য—সমৃদ্ধির বাহক, দ্রুত অশ্ব; সে হয় ঋষি, বচস্য-শক্তি (প্রেরিত বাক্)-এর দ্বারা; সে হয় শূর, যুদ্ধে দুরতিক্রম প্রতিদ্বন্দ্বী। সে ধারণ করে রযির পোষণ ও সুভীর্য—যাকে বাজ এবং সর্বব্যাপী ঋভুগণ প্রকাশ করেছেন।
