अ॒यं स्तु॒तो राजा॑ वन्दि वे॒धा अ॒पश्च॒ विप्र॑स्तरति॒ स्वसे॑तुः । स क॒क्षीव॑न्तं रेजय॒त्सो अ॒ग्निं ने॒मिं न च॒क्रमर्व॑तो रघु॒द्रु
ayaṃ stuto rājā vandi vedhā apaśca viprastarati svasetuḥ sa kakṣīvantaṃ rejayatso agniṃ nemiṃ na cakramarvato raghudru
This celebrated king I praise; the seers and wise men spread the sacred fences; he made thrive the famed Agni, the law and the wheel of the ransom—he is Raghudru.
This royal (Soma), this glorified creator, is praised (by all), and, like a sage, constituting his owncause-way, he traverses the firmament; he made Kakṣīvat tremble, he (made) Agni (shake) as horses (agitate)the light- whirling, revolving-wheel (of a chariot).
This King is praised and honoured as Ordainer: himself the bridge, the Sage speeds o'er the waters. He hath stirred up Kaksivan, stirred up Agni, as the steed's swift wheel drives the felly onward.
