रथानां न येऽराः सनाभयो जिगीवांसो न शूरा अभिद्यवः । वरेयवो न मर्या घृतप्रुषोऽभिस्वर्तारो अर्कं न सुष्टुभः ॥

rathā́nāṃ na yé’rā́ḥ sa-nā́bhayo jigīvā́ṃso na śū́rā abhi-dyávaḥ | vareyávo na maryā́ ghṛtá-pruṣo’bhi-svartā́ro arkaṃ́ na su-stúbhaḥ ||

Como os raios dos carros de cubos firmes, como heróis vencedores avançam impetuosos; como jovens escolhidos destilam ghr̥ta, a luz clarificada, e irrompem para o alto; e, como um hino bem enunciado, são a palavra poderosa.
