प्र वा॑वृजे सुप्र॒जा ब॒र्हिरे॑षा॒मा वि॒श्पती॑व॒ व्वीरि॑ट इयाते । वि॒शाम॒क्तोरु॒षस॑: पू॒र्वहू॑तौ वा॒युः पू॒षा स्व॒स्तये॑ नि॒युत्वा॑न्

prá vāvṛje suprájā bárhir eṣām ā́ viśpátīva vvīríṭ iyāte | viśām aktór uṣásaḥ pūrváhūtau vāyúḥ pū́ṣā svastáye niyútvān
Translation
บรรหิส (Barhis, ที่นั่งหญ้าพิธี) อันมีวงศ์วานอุดมนี้ได้คลี่และกลิ้งออกไปเพื่อพวกเขา; มันย่างมาอย่างทรงพลังดุจเจ้าแห่งหมู่ชน. ในคราวที่ราตรีกับอุษา (รุ่งอรุณ) มาบรรจบกัน—ซึ่งถูกอัญเชิญมาแต่โบราณ—วายุ (Vāyu) และปูษัน (Pūṣan) ผู้เทียมด้วยหมู่พาหนะของตน จงมาสู่ความสวัสดีของเรา.
