IAST Transliteration

śágdhy ù íṣu śacīpate índra víśvābhir ūtíbhiḥ | bhágaṃ ná hí tvā yaśásaṃ vasuvídam ánu śūra cárāmasi

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Be strong to aid us, O lord of Śacī, O Indra, with all thy succours: for, like Bhaga, thee—glorious, wealth-finding—O Hero, we follow after.

Translation

ਹੇ ਸ਼ਚੀਪਤਿ ਇੰਦਰ! ਆਪਣੀਆਂ ਸਭ ਊਤੀਆਂ (ਸਹਾਇਤਾਵਾਂ) ਨਾਲ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਸਹਾਰਾ ਦੇਣ ਲਈ ਬਲਵਾਨ ਹੋ। ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਭਗ ਵਾਂਗ, ਹੇ ਸ਼ੂਰ, ਯਸ਼ਸਵਾਨ ਅਤੇ ਵਸੁਵਿਦ (ਧਨ ਲੱਭਣ ਵਾਲੇ) ਤੈਨੂੰ ਅਸੀਂ ਪਿੱਛੇ-ਪਿੱਛੇ ਅਨੁਸਰਦੇ ਹਾਂ।
