Forth for thee—of this Dawn and of the later Dawn—may we be in the heroic dance of the most manly among men. Following, the triple-radiant chariot, winning, brought hither a hundred men, with Kutsa.
सुबह होने वाली है, और बाद वाली सुबह भी। हम सबसे बहादुर लोगों के साथ नाचना चाहते हैं। तीनों तरफ़ से चमकता हुआ रथ आया। कुत्सा के साथ सौ आदमियों को जीत के लाया।
