यु॒नज्मि॑ त उत्त॒राव॑न्त॒मिन्द्रं॒ येन॒ जय॑न्ति॒ न प॑रा॒जय॑न्ते । यस्त्वा॒ कर॑देकवृ॒षं जना॑नामु॒त राज्ञा॑मुत्तमं मा॑न॒वाना॑म्
yunájmi te uttarā́vantaṁ índraṁ yéna jáyanti ná parā-jáyante | yás tvā́ kárad eka-vṛ́ṣaṁ jánānām utá rājñā́m uttamáṁ mānavā́nām ||
I yoke to thee Indra the Overmastering, by whom men conquer and are not conquered; who made thee the sole Bull of the peoples, yea, the highest of kings, the foremost among men.
Przęgam dla ciebie, o Indrze, Zwycięzcę Przewyższającego, dzięki któremu ludzie zwyciężają i nie zostają pokonani; który uczynił cię jedynym Bykiem ludów, najwyższym z królów, najprzedniejszym wśród ludzi.
