अनश्वो जातो अनभीशुरर्वा कनिक्रदत्पतयदूर्ध्वसानुः । अचित्तं ब्रह्म जुजुषुर्युवानः प्र मित्रे धाम वरुणे गृणन्तः ॥

Transliteration

anaśvó jātó anabhīśúr arvā́ kaníkradat patayad ūrdhvá-sānuḥ | acíttaṃ bráhma jujuṣur yúvānaḥ prá mitré dhā́ma váruṇe gṛṇántaḥ ||

Translation

Born without a horse, without reins—the steed neighs and flies with uplifted crest. The young ones accept the unthought (yet potent) brahman, singing forth the dwelling in Mitra and in Varuṇa.
