त्रीणि त आहुर्दिवि बन्धनानि त्रीण्यप्सु त्रीण्यन्तः समुद्रे । उतेव मे वरुणश्छन्त्स्यर्वन्यत्रा त आहुः परमं जनित्रम् ॥

trī́ṇi ta āhur diví bándhanāni trī́ṇy apsú trī́ṇy antáḥ samudré | utéva me váruṇaś chantsi arván yátrā ta āhúḥ paramáṃ jánitram ||

Mereka menyebut tiga ikatan bagimu di langit, tiga di perairan, dan tiga di dalam samudera yang terdalam. Semoga Varuṇa mengurniakan kepadaku penglihatan yang menemukan, wahai kuda, tempat yang mereka nyatakan sebagai kelahiranmu yang tertinggi—di mana daya itu mula-mula bangkit dalam kebenaran yang paling luhur.
