pró ugrā́ṃ pī́tiṃ vṛ́ṣṇe iyarmi satyā́ṃ práye sutásya háryaśva túbhyam | índra dhénābhir ihá mādayasva dhī́bhir víśvābhiḥ śákyā gṛṇānáḥ

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Forth do I set the fierce, the true draught for the Bull—for thine advance, O Indra of tawny steeds—of the pressed Soma. O Indra, with the flowing ‘cows’ thereof rejoice thou here, while praised with every thought, with efficacious power.

Translation

వృషభునికి తగిన ఉగ్రమైన, సత్యమైన పానాన్ని నేను ముందుకు ఉంచుతున్నాను—నీ పురోగతికై, హర్యశ్వ ఇంద్రా, పిండిన సోమపానాన్ని. హే ఇంద్రా, దాని ధేనా (పాలధారల వంటి ప్రవాహాలు) తో ఇక్కడ ఆనందించు; సమస్త ధీ (బుద్ధి/ధ్యానం) లతో స్తుతింపబడి, శచ్యా (కార్యసాధక శక్తి) తో, మదానందంలో లీనమవు.
