Mantra 14
Rishi: Vājasaneyin tradition; Dadhikrā-related material ultimately rooted in earlier Ṛgvedic diction.
Devata: Dadhikrā (swift steed) with vāja/victory as functional focus.
Chandas: Mixed; adapted Ṛgvedic-style verse embedded as yajus with svāhā.

Translation
এই বিজয়ী বাজী দ্রুত নিক্ষেপে ত্বরিত হয়ে ধাবিত হয়; গ্রীবায় বাঁধা, উপকক্ষ (বেল্ট)-এ আসনবৎ স্থিত। দধিক্রাবন্ ক্রতু (দৃঢ় সংকল্প) ধারণ করে; জয়ের আকাঙ্ক্ষায় সে অগ্রসর হয়; পথে পথে, বাঁকে বাঁকে, সে অবিরাম বেগে ধাবিত—স্বাহা।
