तीव्रान्घोषान्कृण्वते वृषपाणयोऽश्वा रथेभिः सह वाजयन्तः । अवक्रामन्तः प्रपदैरमित्रान्क्षिणन्ति शत्रूँरनपव्ययन्तः ॥

tīvrā́n ghoṣā́n kṛṇvate vṛ́ṣa-pāṇayo’śvā́ rathébhiḥ sahá vā́jayantaḥ | ava-krā́mantaḥ prá-padair amítrān kṣiṇánti śátrūn ánapa-vyayantaḥ ||

ತೀವ್ರ ಘೋಷಗಳನ್ನು ಉಂಟುಮಾಡುವ ವೃಷಪಾಣಿ (ಬಲಿಷ್ಠಹಸ್ತ) ಅಶ್ವಗಳು; ರಥಗಳೊಡನೆ ಯುಕ್ತರಾಗಿ ಅವರು ವಾಜ (ಶಕ್ತಿ-ಸಮೃದ್ಧಿ)ಯನ್ನು ತರುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಮುಂದಕ್ಕೆ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ ಹಾಕುತ್ತಾ ಅವರು ಅಮಿತ್ರ (ವೈರಿ)ಗಳನ್ನು ಒತ್ತಿಹಾಕಿ, ಶತ್ರುಬಲಗಳನ್ನು ಕ್ಷೀಣಗೊಳಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ—ಯಾತ್ರೆಯಿಂದ ಎಂದಿಗೂ ತಿರುಗದೆ.
