अनु प्र येजे जन ओजो अस्य सत्रा दधिरे अनु वीर्याय । स्यूमगृभे दुधयेऽर्वते च क्रतुं वृञ्जन्त्यपि वृत्रहत्ये ॥

ánu prá yeje jáná ójo asya satrā́ dadhire ánu vīryā́ya | syūmá-gṛbhe dúdhaye 'rváte ca krátum vṛñjánty ápi vṛtrahátye ||

মানুষ তাঁর ওজের অনুসরণ করে তাঁকে যজনা-স্তব করে; তারা অবিচলভাবে তাঁর বীর্যশক্তির অনুগামী হয়। বৃদ্ধি-লাভের গ্রাসের জন্য, দুহনে (সমৃদ্ধি-দানে) এবং অগ্রগতির অশ্বের জন্য, তারা ক্রতু (সঙ্কল্প-শক্তি) ও সম্যক্ বিবেককে বেছে নেয়—বৃত্রহত্যা (বৃত্র-বধ)-এর জন্যও।
