अ॒स्मा इदु॒ त्यदनु॑ दाय्येषा॒मेको॒ यद्व॒व्ने भूरे॒रीशा॑नः । प्रैत॑शं॒ सूर्ये॑ पस्पृधा॒नं सौव॑श्व्ये॒ सुष्वि॑माव॒दिन्द्रः॑
asmā idu tyadanu dāyyeṣāmeko yadvavne bhūrerīśānaḥ praitaśaṃ sūrye paspṛdhānaṃ sauvaśvye suṣvimāvadindraḥ
May this therefore be given to us according to what the mighty rulers desire. As at dawn the Sun scattered the foremost beams, so Indra made the ample radiance of the steeds victorious.
To him has that praise been offered which he, sole (victor over his foes), and lord of maniford wealth, prefers (to receive) from those (who praise him). Indra has defended the pious sacrificer Etaśa when contending with Sūrya, the son of Svaśva.
Now unto him of these things hath been given what he who rules alone o'er much, electeth. Indra hath helped Etasa, Soma-presser, contending in the race of steeds with Sarya.
