यासि॒ कुत्से॑न स॒रथ॑मव॒स्युस्तो॒दो वात॑स्य॒ हर्यो॒रीशा॑नः । ऋ॒ज्रा वाजं॒ न गध्यं॒ युयू॑षन्क॒विर्यदह॒न्पार्या॑य॒ भूषा॑त्
yāsi kutsena sarathamavasyustodo vātasya haryorīśānaḥ ṛjrā vājaṃ na gadhyaṃ yuyūṣankaviryadahanpāryāya bhūṣāt
Thou didst come as charioteer to the reviled, hastening like winds to the steeds of kings. Straight is the speech of power; the seer, having yoked the mighty, adorned the circuit with splendour.
You go with Kutsa in the same chariot, determined to defend him; (you) who are the tormentor (of foes), the lord of horses (of the speech) of the wind; on the same day wherein, yoking (to the car) the straight-going steeds, as if to receive food, the sage (Kutsa) has been enabled to cross over (the sea) of calamity.
Thou comest, fain to succour him, with Kutsa,-a goad that masters both the Wind-God's horses, That, holding the brown steeds like spoil for capture, the sage may on the final day be present.
