upo nayasva vṛṣaṇā tapuṣpotemava tvaṃ vṛṣabha svadhāvaḥ grasetāmaśvā vi muceha śoṇā divedive sadṛśīraddhi dhānāḥ
Lead forth the bulls to the place of tapas; you, O bull, run with the sacred libation. Let these horses be seized and released; as in days of old, may the kine graze by day and prosper in wealth.
Showerer (of benefits), giver of food, guide hither your vigorous horses, defending (us) against foes, and protect (your worshippers); here unharness the bay steeds, and give them fodder, and you eat daily suitable food.
Bring the strong Steeds who drink the warm libation, and, Bull of Godlike nature, be thou gracious. Let thy Steeds eat; set free thy Tawny Horses, and roasted grain like this consume thou daily.
