प्र ह्यच्छा मनीषा स्पार्हा यन्ति नियुतः । प्र दस्रा नियुद्रथः पूषा अविष्टु माहिनः ॥

प्र ह्यच्छा॑ मनी॒षा स्पा॒र्हा यन्ति॑ नि॒युत॑: । प्र द॒स्रा नि॒युद्र॑थः पू॒षा अ॑विष्टु॒ माहि॑नः ॥

prá hy ácchā manīṣā́ spārhā́ yánti ni-yútaḥ | prá dasrā́ niyúd-rathaḥ pūṣā́ aviṣṭu mā́hinaḥ ||

Forward indeed, toward the goal, the desirable inspirations go yoked and ordered. Forward move the wondrous powers with their yoked car; may Pūṣan, the mighty, lead us and guard the journey.
