Transliteration
índreṇa yātha saráthaṃ suté sacā́ṃ átho váśānāṃ bhavathā sahá śriyā́ | ná vaḥ pratímai sukṛtā́ni vāghatáḥ saudhanvanā ṛbhavo vīryā́ṇi ca ||
Translation
With Indra you move yoked on one car, close to the pressed Soma; and you become masters of the powers, together with splendour. No singer can measure your well-wrought deeds, O Saudhanvana Ribhus, nor your acts of hero-force.
