सर॑स्वति॒ त्वम॒स्माँ अ॑विड्ढि म॒रुत्व॑ती धृष॒ती जे॑षि॒ शत्रू॑न् । त्यं चि॒च्छर्ध॑न्तं तविषी॒यमा॑ण॒मिन्द्रो॑ हन्ति वृष॒भं शण्डि॑कानाम्
sarasvati tvamasmām̐ aviḍḍhi marutvatī dhṛṣatī jeṣi śatrūn tyaṃ cicchardhantaṃ taviṣīyamāṇamindro hanti vṛṣabhaṃ śaṇḍikānām
O Sarasvatī, thou who strengthenest us, like the tempestuous Maruts be mighty against our foes. May Indra smite down the bull among the proud, the wielder of clubs.
Sarasvatī, do you protect us; associated with the Maruts and firm (of purpose), overcome our foes, whiilst Indra slays the chief of the Śaṇḍikas, defying him and confiding in his strength.
Sarasvati, protect us: with the Maruts allied thou boldly conquerest our foemen, While Indra does to death the daring chieftain of Sandikas exulting in his prowess.
