Translation

หนทางที่กว้างยิ่งได้ปรากฏแก่ผู้กว้างใหญ่: หนทางแห่งฤตะ (ṛta ความจริง/ระเบียบจักรวาล) ถูกจัดให้สอดคล้องด้วยรัศมี—ด้วยรัศมีอันเป็นดวงตาของภคะ (Bhaga). ที่ประทับอันสว่างไสวของมิตร (Mitra) ของอริยมัน (Aryaman) และของวรุณะ (Varuṇa)—แล้วพวกท่านสถาปนาปีกอันกว้างใหญ่แห่งอุกถะ (uktha ถ้อยคำสรรเสริญที่มีแรงดลใจ) ปีกอันกว้างใหญ่ที่ควรแก่การสรรเสริญ.
