Four of us are not the spearmen of the chariot; three are the king's, the celebrated of youthful vigour. May Mitra and Varuna, long-reaching, be our chariot-pullers; the hero seized the sound and rushed forth.
The four (silly) sons of Maśar'śāra, the three of the victorious monarch Āyavasa (annoy) me. Let your spacious and bright-rayed chariot, Mitra and Varuṇa, blaze (before them) like the sun (filling them with fear).
Four youthful sons of Masarsara vex me, three, of the king, the conquering Ayavasa. Now like the Sun, O Varuna and Mitra, your car hath shone, long-shaped and reined with splendour.
