Translation
അന്നങ്ങൾ സമൃദ്ധമാണ്, ധനം വർധിപ്പിക്കുന്നവയാണ്, കൂടാതെ സുമേധാഃ (സുചിന്തയുള്ള) ആകുന്നു; ശ്വേത തേജസ് വായുവിന്റെ നിയുത (രഥ-യുഗ)ങ്ങളോടു ചേർന്നു നിൽക്കുന്നു. സമമനസ്സോടെ അവർ വായുവിനായി തങ്ങളുടെ സ്ഥാനങ്ങളിൽ നിലകൊണ്ടു; ഈ എല്ലാ പുരുഷന്മാരും തീർച്ചയായും തങ്ങൾക്കായി സുപത്യ (സുശാസനം)യും സമ്പത്തുകളും നേടിക്കൊണ്ടു.
