तनूष्टे वाजिन् तन्वं१ नयन्ती वाममस्मभ्यं धावतु शर्म तुभ्यम्। अह्रुतो महो धरुणाय देवो दिवीऽव ज्योतिः स्वमा मिमीयात्

Thy body, O racer—thy body as it bears thee onward—let it run to win the good for us, and safety for thyself. Unharmed, for great glory and for firm support, may the god from heaven measure out unto thee his own light.
Teu corpo, ó corredor — teu corpo que te leva adiante — que corra para nos conquistar o bem e, para ti mesmo, a proteção. Incólume, para grande glória e firme amparo, que o deus do céu te meça a sua própria luz.
