Sukta 12
स उत् ति॑ष्ठ॒ प्रेहि॒ प्र द्र॑व॒ रथः॑ सुच॒क्रः सु॑प॒विः सु॒नाभिः॑। प्रति॑ तिष्ठो॒र्ध्वः
sá út tiṣṭha préhi prá drava ráthaḥ sucakráḥ supavíḥ sunābhíḥ | práti tiṣṭhordhváḥ ||
Rise up; go forth; run onward—like a chariot well-wheeled, well-fellied, with sound naves. Stand thou again, upright and firm.
स उत्तिष्ठ प्रेहि प्र द्रव—रथः सुचक्रः सुपविः सुनाभिः। प्रति तिष्ठोर्ध्वः॥
