IAST Transliteration

góbhiṣ ṭaremā́matiṁ durévāṁ yávena vā́ kṣúdhaṁ puruhūta víśve | vayáṁ rā́jasu prathamā́ dhánāny áriṣṭāso vr̥janī́bhir jayema

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

With kine may we pass beyond the evil-minded plot, with barley too—or hunger itself—O Much-invoked, all ye Powers. Among kings may we be first; may we win the riches, unhurt, conquering with our bands.

Translation

愿我们凭牛群越过那恶念的阴谋；也凭大麦——或凭饥饿本身——噢多受呼唤者，诸神力皆在。愿我们在诸王之中居首；愿我们无伤而得财富，以我们的队伍在争战中取胜。
