dādhāra kṣemamoko na raṇvo yavo na pakvo jetā janānām
He who held back wealth, not the warrior, not the ripe grain — he conquered the peoples.
[3-4] Like a secure mansion, he proects property; he (nourishes people) like barley; he is the conqueror of (hostile)) men; he is like a ṛṣi, the praiser (of the gods), eminent amongst (devout) person ns; as a spirited horse (goes to battle), he repairs delighted to the hall of sacrifice; may be bestow upon us food.
With flame insatiate, like eternal might; caring for each one like a dame at home; Bright when he shines forth, whitish mid the folk, like a car, gold-decked, thundering to the fight.
