नहि ते अग्ने वृषभ प्रतिधृषे जम्भासो यद्वितिष्ठसे । स त्वं नो होतः सुहुतं हविष्कृधि वंस्वा नो वार्या पुरु ॥

náhi te agne vṛṣabha prati-dhṛ́ṣe jámbhāso yád vi-tíṣṭhase | sá tváṃ no hotaḥ su-hútaṃ havíṣ kṛdhi vaṃsvā́ no vā́ryā purú ||

ഹേ അഗ്നേ, വൃഷഭ (ബലവാൻ കാള) സമാനനായേ, നീ നിന്റെ പരാക്രമത്തിൽ നില്ക്കുമ്പോൾ നിന്റെ ജംഭാസു (താടികൾ)ക്കെതിരെ ആരും പ്രതിധൃഷേ (താങ്ങിനിൽക്കാൻ) കഴിയില്ല. അതുകൊണ്ട്, ഹേ നമ്മുടെ ഹോതൃ, ഞങ്ങളുടെ ഹവിസിനെ സുഹുത (ശ്രേഷ്ഠമായി അർപ്പിതം) ആക്കുക; ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് പുരു വാർയാ (അനേകം ഇഷ്ടസമ്പത്തുകൾ) ജയിപ്പിക്ക.
