Transliteration
átyā hiyānā́ ná hetṛ́bhir ásṛgram vā́ja-sātaye | ví vā́ram ávyam āśávaḥ ||
Translation
അത്യന്ത വേഗത്തിൽ പാഞ്ഞോടുന്ന, ചാട്ടക്കൊമ്പുകളാൽ പോലും ഓടിക്കപ്പെടാത്ത ത്വരിത അശ്വങ്ങളെപ്പോലെ, അവർ വാജസാതി (സമൃദ്ധി-വിജയം) നേടാൻ ഒഴുകിപ്പുറപ്പെട്ടു; ഉത്സുക ആശവഃ (വേഗികൾ) അവ്യം (ഊനിന ശോധക-ജാലകം) വിശാലമായി വിരിച്ചു—ശുദ്ധാനന്ദത്തിന് വഴി തുറന്നു.
