With gentle desire this longing was stirred by cows, horses and moonlike splendour; sages, endowed with thoughts, and priests, the chariot-drivers, have brought offerings.

With kine and horses satisfy this longing with very splendid bounty still extend it. Seeking the light, with hymns to thee, O Indra, the Kusikas have brought their gift, the singers.
