युञ्जन्ति हरी इषिरस्य गाथयोरौ रथ उरुयुगे ।इन्द्रवाहा वचोयुजा
yuñjánti hárī iṣirásya gā́thayor áu rátha urúyuge | índravāhā vacoyújā́
They yoke the two tawny steeds of the impetuous One, with the pair of songs; lo, the chariot, broad-yoked—Indra-bearing, yoked on by sacred speech.
वेगवान् (इषिर) के दो हरि (ताम्रवर्ण) अश्वों को वे दोनों गाथाओं के युग्म से जोतते हैं; देखो—विस्तृत-जुए वाला रथ, इन्द्र-वाहक, पवित्र वाणी से युक्त (वचोयुज) होकर जुड़ता है।
Rishi: R̥gvedic provenance (Indra-stuti); in AV 20 typically preserves RV attributions (exact r̥ṣi requires RV cross-identification).
Devata: Indra (with his Hari steeds and chariot as extensions).
Chandas: Triṣṭubh/Jagatī-type cadence typical of RV Indra hymns (exact meter requires full pada count verification).
