May the chariot that bears you not stray from the world; may it move rightly to well-being. O strong-breasted one, standing firm in mind, I hasten like an ancient worshipper; he is the wise sacrificer.
Aśvins, excellent and steady, may your chariot, vast as the earth, broad-fronted, rapid as the rain (fleet) as thought, cumulative and adorable, come hither for (our) good.
Your car is like a torrent rushing downward: may it come nigh, broad-seated, for our welfare,- Car holy, strong, that ever would be foremost, thought-swift, which ye, for whom we long, have mounted.
