नित्ये॑ चि॒न्नु यं सद॑ने जगृ॒भ्रे प्रश॑स्तिभिर्दधि॒रे य॒ज्ञिया॑सः । प्र सू न॑यन्त गृ॒भय॑न्त इ॒ष्टावश्वा॑सो॒ न र॒थ्यो॑ रारहा॒णाः
nitye cinnu yaṃ sadane jagṛbhre praśastibhirdadhire yajñiyāsaḥ pra sū nayanta gṛbhayanta iṣṭāvaśvāso na rathyo rārahāṇāḥ
Ever, when the householder wakes, the praised priests set forth the fires of the sacrificers. They lead forth, they harness the desired steeds; not the chariotless nor the riders of the road.
Him, whom the worshippers lay hold of in his perpetual abode, they detain by their praises, and the holders convey him diligently to the sacrifice, as rapid coursers, harnessed to a car, (bear the rider to his destination).
Him in his constant seat men skilled in worship have taken and with praises have established. As, harnessed to a chariot fleet-foot horses, at his command let bearers lead him forward.
