कु॒विन्मा॑ गो॒पां कर॑से॒ जन॑स्य कु॒विद्राजा॑नं मघवन्नृजीषिन् । कु॒विन्म॒ ऋषिं॑ पपि॒वांसं॑ सु॒तस्य॑ कु॒विन्मे॒ वस्वो॑ अ॒मृत॑स्य॒ शिक्षाः॑
kuvinmā gopāṃ karase janasya kuvidrājānaṃ maghavannṛjīṣin kuvinma ṛṣiṃ papivāṃsaṃ sutasya kuvinme vasvo amṛtasya śikṣāḥ
Do not do wrong to the keeper of cows, O king of many; do not injure the sage, you who desire glory. Wrong not the singer of the suta; teach the immortal Dwelling’s laws.
Possessor of wealth, accept of the spiritless Soma; make me the protector, or rather a monarch of men; make me verily a holy sage, a drinker of the libation; make me verily the possessor of imperishable wealth.
Wilt thou not make me guardian of the people, make me, impetuous Maghavan, their ruler? Make me a Rsi having drunk of Soma? Wilt thou not give me wealth that lasts for ever?
