प्रामूं ज॑या॒भी॒३मे ज॑यन्तु केतु॒मद् दु॑न्दुभिर्वा॑वदीतु । समश्व॑पर्णाः पतन्तु नो॒ नरो॒ऽस्माक॑मिन्द्र र॒थिनो॑ जयन्तु

Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 6.126.3

prá amū́ṃ jaya abhī́me jayantu ketú-mad dundúbhir vāvádītu | sám aśvá-parṇāḥ patantu no náro ’smā́kam indra rathínaḥ jayantu

Forward—conquer yonder! let these here conquer: let the bannered drum resound aloud. In unison let our men, horse-winged, swoop on; and, O Indra, let our chariot-fighters be victorious.

ముందుకు సాగండి—అక్కడ విజయం సాధించండి; ఇక్కడివారూ గెలవనివ్వండి. కేతుమాన్ (ధ్వజమున్న) దుందుభి ఘనంగా మ్రోగనివ్వండి. మా నరులు, అశ్వ-పక్షాలున్నవారిలా, ఏకమై దూకి పడనివ్వండి; ఓ ఇంద్రా, మా రథిక యోధులు విజయులగుదురు గాక.
