असर्जि वक्वा रथ्ये यथाजौ धिया मनोता प्रथमो मनीषी । दश स्वसारो अधि सानो अव्येऽजन्ति वह्निं सदनान्यच्छ ॥

ásarji vakvā́ rathyè yáthājáu dhiyā́ manótā prathamó manīṣī́ | dáśa svásāro ádhi sā́nō avyé’janti váhniṃ sádānāny áccha ||

ಅವನು ಹೊರಡಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟನು—ಬಲವಾದ ಧ್ವನಿಯುಳ್ಳವನು—ಓಟದಲ್ಲಿ ರಥದಂತೆ; ಒಪ್ಪಿಗೆಯನ್ನೀಡುವ ಧೀ (ಚಿಂತಾಶಕ್ತಿ)ಯಿಂದ, ವಿವೇಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಮೊದಲ ಋಷಿ. ಹತ್ತು ಸಹೋದರಿಯರು, ಉಣ್ಣೆಯ ಶಿಖರದ ಮೇಲೆ, ವಹ್ನಿ (ವಾಹಕ ಅಗ್ನಿ)ಯನ್ನು ಸದನಗಳ ಕಡೆಗೆ—ದೇವರ ಆಸನಗಳ ಕಡೆಗೆ, ಋತದ ಯೋಗ್ಯ ನಿವಾಸಗಳ ಕಡೆಗೆ—ಹಾಕುತ್ತವೆ.
