Transliteration

yáthā pū́rvebhyo jaritṛ́bhya indra máya iva ā́po ná tṛ́ṣyate babhū́tha | tā́m ánu tvā ni-vídaṃ johavīmi vidyā́meṣáṃ vṛ́janaṃ jīrá-dānum ||

Translation

જેમ તું પૂર્વ જરિતૃઓ માટે, હે ઇન્દ્ર, માયા સમાન—તરસને ન નિષ્ફળ કરતી તાજી આપો જેવી—થયો હતો, તેમ હું આ નિવિદ (પવિત્ર સૂત્ર) વડે તને આહ્વાન કરું છું. અમે એ ઇષ (પ્રેરણા) અને વિજયી વ્રજન (રણક્ષેત્ર/વિસ્તાર)ને જાણીએ અને પ્રાપ્ત કરીએ, અને તને—ઝડપે દાન કરનાર દાતા—પ્રાપ્ત કરીએ.
