Transliteration

yáthā pū́rvebhyaḥ śatásā́ amṛ́dhraḥ sahasrasā́ḥ pár yayā vā́jam indo | evā́ pavasva suvitā́ya návyase táva vratám anv ā́paḥ sacante ||

Translation

Como antaño, oh Indu, recorriste en torno, ganando el vāja cien veces, mil veces, sin fallo — así purifícate ahora para una dicha nueva y más amplia. Las Aguas siguen tu vrata; consienten en tu senda y sostienen tu movimiento ordenado.
