अश्म॑न्वती रीयते॒ सं र॑भध्व॒मुत्ति॑ष्ठत॒ प्र त॑रता सखायः । अत्रा॑ जहाम॒ ये अस॒न्नशे॑वाः शि॒वान्व॒यमुत्त॑रेमा॒भि वाजा॑न्
aśmanvatī rīyate saṃ rabhadhvamuttiṣṭhata pra taratā sakhāyaḥ atrā jahāma ye asannaśevāḥ śivānvayamuttaremābhi vājān
Stone-armed, the hosts sung; they rose up with vigorous strength, comrades in bold haste. Here we drove those who served near us; we yoked them forward with eager speed.
The aśmanvatī flows along; be alert; rise up, cross over, may friends; here let us leave those whoare unhappy, so that we may cross over to auspicious sacrificial viands.
Here flows Asmanvati: hold fast each other, keep yourselves up, and pass, my friends, the river. There let us leave the Powers that brought no profit, and cross the flood to Powers that are auspicious.
