8,55 Praskaṇva's Gift 
8.VII Praskaṇva's Gift 
bhū́rī́d índrasya vīríyaṃ ví ákhyam abhí ā́yati |
rā́dhas te dasyave vr̥ka || 
1 GREAT, verily, is Indra's might. I have beheld, and hither comes Thy bounty, Dasyave-vrka! 
śatáṃ śvetā́sa ukṣáṇo diví tā́ro ná rocante |
mahnā́ dívaṃ ná tastabhuḥ || 
2 A hundred oxen white of hue are shining like the stars in heaven, So tall, they seem to prop the sky. 
śatáṃ veṇū́ñ chatáṃ śúnaḥ śatáṃ cármāṇi mlātā́ni |
śatám me balbajastukā́ áruṣīṇāṃ cátuḥśatam || 
3 Bamboos a hundred, a hundred dogs, a hundred skins of beasts well-tanned, A hundred tufts of Balbaja, four hundred red-hued mares are mine. 
sudevā́ stha kāṇvāyanā váyo-vayo vicarántaḥ |
áśvāso ná caṅkramata || 
4 Blest by the Gods, Kinvayanas! be ye who spread through life on life: Like horses have ye stridden forth. 
ā́d ít sāptásya carkirann ā́nūnasya máhi śrávaḥ |
śyā́vīr atidhvasán patháś cákṣuṣā caná saṃnáśe || 
5 Then men extolled the team of seven not yet full-grown, its fame is great. The dark mares rushed along the paths, so that no eye could follow them.
