1,111 Ṛbhus 
1.CXI Ṛbhus 
tákṣan ráthaṃ suvŕ̥taṃ vidmanā́pasas tákṣan hárī indravā́hā vŕ̥ṣaṇvasū |
tákṣan pitŕ̥bhyām r̥bhávo yúvad váyas tákṣan vatsā́ya mātáraṃ sacābhúvam || 
1 WORKING with skill they wrought the lightly rolling car: they wrought the Bays who bear Indra and bring great gifts. The Ṛbhus for their Parents made life young again; and fashioned for the calf a mother by its side. 
ā́ no yajñā́ya takṣata rbhumád váyaḥ krátve dákṣāya suprajā́vatīm íṣam |
yáthā kṣáyāma sárvavīrayā viśā́ tán naḥ śárdhāya dhāsathā sú indriyám || 
2 For sacrifice make for us active vital power for skill and wisdom food with noble progeny. Grant to our company this power most excellent, that with a family all-heroic we may dwell. 
ā́ takṣata sātím asmábhyam r̥bhavaḥ sātíṃ ráthāya sātím árvate naraḥ |
sātíṃ no jaítrīṃ sám maheta viśváhā jāmím ájāmim pŕ̥tanāsu sakṣáṇim || 
3 Do ye, O Ṛbhus, make prosperity for us, prosperity for car, ye Heroes, and for steed. Grant us prosperity victorious evermore, conquering foes in battle, strangers or akin. 
r̥bhukṣáṇam índram ā́ huva ūtáya r̥bhū́n vā́jān marútaḥ sómapītaye |
ubhā́ mitrā́váruṇā nūnám aśvínā té no hinvantu sātáye dhiyé jiṣé || 
4 Indra, the Ṛbhus' Lord, I invocate for aid, the Ṛbhus, Vājas, Maruts to the Soma draught. Varuṇa, Mitra, both, yea, and the Aśvins Twain: let them speed us to wealth, wisdom, and victory. 
r̥bhúr bhárāya sáṃ śiśātu sātíṃ samaryajíd vā́jo asmā́m̐ aviṣṭu |
tán no mitró váruṇo māmahantām áditiḥ síndhuḥ pr̥thivī́ utá dyaúḥ || 
5 May Ṛbhu send prosperity for battle, may Vāja conquering in the fight protect us. This prayer of ours may Varuṇa grant, and Mitra, and Aditi and Sindhu, Earth and Heaven.
