eṣá dhiyā́ yāty áṇviyā śū́ro ráthebhir āśúbhiḥ |
gáchann índrasya niṣkr̥tám ||

1 THROUGH the fine fingers, with the song, this Hero comes with rapid ears, Going to Indra's special place.

eṣá purū́ dhiyāyate br̥haté devátātaye |
yátrāmŕ̥tāsa ā́sate ||

2 In holy thought he ponders much for the great worship of the Gods. Where the Immortals have their seat.

eṣá hitó ví nīyate antáḥ śubhrā́vatā pathā́ |
yádī tuñjánti bhū́rṇayaḥ ||

3 Like a good horse is he led out, when on the path that shines with light The mettled steeds exert their strength.

eṣá śŕ̥ṅgāṇi dódhuvac chíśīte yūthíyo vŕ̥ṣā |
nr̥mṇā́ dádhāna ójasā ||

4 He brandishes his horns on high, and whets them Bull who leads the herd, Doing with might heroic deeds.

eṣá rukmíbhir īyate vājī́ śubhrébhir aṃśúbhiḥ |
pátiḥ síndhūnãm bhávan ||

5 He moves, a vigorous Steed, adorned with beauteous rays of shining gold, Becoming Sovran of the streams.

eṣá vásūni pibdanā́ páruṣā yayivā́m̐ áti |
áva śā́deṣu gachati ||

6 He, over places rough to pass, bringing rich treasures closely packed. Descends into the reservoirs.

etám mr̥janti márjiyam úpa dróṇeṣu āyávaḥ |
pracakrāṇám mahī́r íṣaḥ ||

7 Men beautify him in the vats, him worthy to be beautified, Him who brings forth abundant food.

etám u tyáṃ dáśa kṣípo mr̥jánti saptá dhītáyaḥ |
suāyudhám madíntamam ||

8 Him, even him, the fingers ten and the seven songs make beautiful, Well-weaponed, best of gladdeners.
