vīrebhirvīrānvanavadvanuṣyato gobhī rayiṃ paprathadbodhati tmanā tokaṃ ca tasya tanayaṃ ca vardhate yaṃyaṃ yujaṃ kṛṇute brahmaṇaspatiḥ
Among heroes he wandered like a hero, across the forests he sought the cows’ wealth and perceived it with his mind. His offspring grew and prospered—whatever he joins, Brahmanaspati accomplishes.
(Surrounded) by his descendants, may he surpas the malevolent descendants (of his adversaries), for he is famed for great wealth of cattle, and understands (all things) of himself; his sons and grandsons prosper whom Brahmaṇaspati makes his associate.
With heroes he shall overcome his hero foes, and spread his wealth by kine wise by himself is be. His children and his children's children grow in strength, whomever Brahmanaspati takes for his friend.
