Transliteration
etā́ vo vaśmy údyatā yajatrā́ átakṣann ā́yavo návyase sám | śravasyávo vā́jaṃ cakānā́ḥ saptír ná rathyó áha dhī́tim aśyāḥ ||
Translation
Diese Worte forme und richte ich für euch auf, o Opferwürdige; die Seher haben sie neu zu Einklang gefügt. Nach rühmlichem Hören verlangend, die vāja — die Fülle der Kraft — begehrend, mögen wir den Gedanken erreichen, wie ein gut angeschirrtes Ross für den Wagen, schnell auf der Straße der Fahrt.
