वि ह्यख्यं॒ मन॑सा॒ वस्य॑ इ॒च्छन्निन्द्रा॑ग्नी ज्ञा॒स उ॒त वा॑ सजा॒तान् । नान्या यु॒वत्प्रम॑तिरस्ति॒ मह्यं॒ स वां॒ धियं॑ वाज॒यन्ती॑मतक्षम्
vi hyakhyaṃ manasā vasya icchannindrāgnī jñāsa uta vā sajātān nānyā yuvatpramatirasti mahyaṃ sa vāṃ dhiyaṃ vājayantīmatakṣam
Surely by mind's desire, known to Indra and Agni or to their companions, there is no other youthful protector for me; may he who bears you strengthen my intellect and be victorious with wealth.
Indra and Agni, desirous of wealth, I consider you, in my mind, as kinsmen and relations; the clear understanding you have given me, (is given) by no one else, and (so gifted), I have composed this hymn to you, intimating my wish for sustenance.
LONGING for weal I looked around, in spirit, for kinsmen, Indra-Agni, or for brothers. No providence but yours alone is with me so have I wrought for you this hymn for succour.
