त्वामिद्धि सहसस्पुत्र मर्त्य उपब्रूते धने हिते । सुवीर्यं मरुत आ स्वश्व्यं दधीत यो व आचके ॥
tvā́m íd dhi sáhasas-putra mártya upabrūté dháne hité | su-vī́ryaṃ maruta ā́ svaśvyaṃ dádhīta yó va ācaké ||
For it is thee, O son of Strength, that the mortal calls upon when the goal is the gain. O Maruts, he who has approached you lays up within himself a heroic force and a right mastery of the steeds—energies disciplined for the journey.
