Transliteration

nū́ ṣṭutá indra nū́ gṛṇān á íṣaṃ jaritré nádyo na pīpeḥ | ákāri te harivo bráhma návyaṃ dhiyā́ syāma rathyáḥ sadā-sā́ḥ ||

Translation

Kini dipuji, wahai Indra, kini dilagukan, semoga Engkau melimpahkan iṣ (dorongan daya) bagi sang penyanyi, sebagaimana sungai-sungai meluapkan arusnya. Bagimu, wahai Harivo (tuan kuda-kuda keemasan), telah dibuat brahman yang baru; oleh dhī (wawasan yang terjaga) semoga kami menjadi layak menempuh perjalanan, senantiasa duduk dalam persekutuan-Mu.
