atyā vṛdhasnū rohitā ghṛtasnū ṛtasya manye manasā javiṣṭhā antarīyase aruṣā yujāno yuṣmām̐śca devānviśa ā ca martān
Surpassing in growth, rich in fat, robed in clarified butter—of the law I reckon you foremost in mind. You, interjacent, crimson, pairing — the deities approach you and mortals.
I celebrate the ruddy, food-bestowing, water- shedding, and swifter-than-thought-going, steeds of him who is the truth; harnessing the brilliant pair (to your chariot), you pass between the deities of whom you are, and human worshippers.
I laud the ruddy steeds who pour down blessing, dropping oil, flectest through the thoualit of Order. Yoking red horses to and fro thou goest between you Deities and mortal races.
