English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Upon the twain thou hast set the laud-worthy word—those paired ones with well-guided ladles who do thee service. Unchecked within thine ordinance it dwelleth and it thriveth: auspicious power for the sacrificer who presseth.

Translation

ହେ (ଦେବ), ତୁମେ ଦ୍ୱୟ ଉପରେ ଉକ୍ଥ୍ୟ (ସ୍ତୁତିଯୋଗ୍ୟ) ବଚନ ସ୍ଥାପନ କରିଛ—ୟତସ୍ରୁଚା (ସୁସଂଚାଳିତ ସ୍ରୁଚିଧାରୀ) ସେ ଯୁଗଳ, ଯେମାନେ ତୁମକୁ ସପର୍ୟତଃ (ସେବା/ପୂଜା) କରନ୍ତି। ତୁମର ବ୍ରତ (ବିଧି-ନିୟମ) ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଅବାଧ ରହି ତାହା ବସେ ଓ ବୃଦ୍ଧି ପାଏ: ସୁନ୍ୱତ (ସୋମ ପିଷୁଥିବା) ଯଜମାନ ପାଇଁ ଭଦ୍ର ଶକ୍ତି (ମଙ୍ଗଳକାରୀ ବଳ)।
