vā́jasya nu prasavá ā́ babhūvemā́ ca víśvā bhúvanāni sarvátas | sanémi rājā́ pári yāti vidvā́n prajā́ṃ púṣṭiṃ vardháyamāno asmē svā́hā

Translation

บัดนี้ แรงกระตุ้นแห่งรางวัล (vāja) ได้บังเกิดแล้ว และสรรพโลกทั้งปวงโดยรอบก็ถูกจัดวางเป็นระเบียบ. พระราชาผู้รู้ทั่ว ผู้มีล้ออันเก่าแก่ เสด็จเวียนไปโดยรอบ เพิ่มพูนแก่เราซึ่งประชาและความอุดมเลี้ยง—สวาหา (Svāhā)!
