IAST Transliteration

śágdhy ù íṣu śacīpate índra víśvābhir ūtíbhiḥ | bhágaṃ ná hí tvā yaśásaṃ vasuvídam ánu śūra cárāmasi

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Be strong to aid us, O lord of Śacī, O Indra, with all thy succours: for, like Bhaga, thee—glorious, wealth-finding—O Hero, we follow after.

Translation

ಹೇ ಶಚೀಪತೇ ಇಂದ್ರ! ನಿನ್ನ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಊತಿಗಳಿಂದ (ಸಹಾಯಗಳಿಂದ) ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ರಕ್ಷಿಸಲು ಬಲಿಷ್ಠನಾಗು. ಏಕೆಂದರೆ, ಭಗನಂತೆ, ಹೇ ಶೂರ, ಯಶಸ್ವಿಯಾದ ಮತ್ತು ವಸುविद್ (ಧನವನ್ನು ಕಂಡುಕೊಡುವ) ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ನಾವು ಅನುಸರಿಸಿ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತೇವೆ.
