अ॒यं ते॑ अ॒स्म्युप॑ न॒ एह्य॒र्वाङ् प्र॑तीची॒नः स॑हुरे विश्वदावन्। मन्यो॑ वज्रिन्न॒भि न॒ आ व॑वृत्स्व॒ हना॑व॒ दस्यूं॑रुत बो॑ध्या॒पेः

IAST Transliteration

ayáṃ te asmý úpa na éhy arvā́ṅ pratīcīnáḥ sahure viśva-dāvan | manyó vajrinn abhí na ā́ vavṛtsva hánāva dasyū́ṃr utá bodhy āpéḥ ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Here am I thine: come near to us, hitherward, turned toward us, O impetuous, all-bestowing. O Manyu, bolt-bearing, roll thyself upon us; smite down the Dasyus, and be thou wakeful against the foe from afar.

Translation

Aqui estou, sou teu: aproxima-te de nós, vem para cá, volta-te para nós, ó impetuoso, doador de tudo. Ó Manyu, portador do vajra, lança-te sobre nós, envolve-nos; abate os Dasyus e permanece desperto contra o inimigo de longe.
