यस्त्वा॑ दो॒षा य उ॒षसि॑ प्र॒शंसा॑त्प्रि॒यं वा॑ त्वा कृ॒णव॑ते ह॒विष्मा॑न् । अश्वो॒ न स्वे दम॒ आ हे॒म्यावा॒न्तमंह॑सः पीपरो दा॒श्वांस॑म्
yastvā doṣā ya uṣasi praśaṃsātpriyaṃ vā tvā kṛṇavate haviṣmān aśvo na sve dama ā hemyāvāntamaṃhasaḥ pīparo dāśvāṃsam
Whoever praises you, O Dawn, or makes offerings to you, dear one, or performs your oblation — like a swift steed among horses he gave us as servants.
Preserve from sin the liberal sacrificer who glorifies you morning and evening, and presenting oblations, does what is acceptable to you in his own abode, like a horse with golden caparisons.
Whoso sings praise to thee at eve or morning, and, with oblation, doth the thing thou lovest,- In his own home, even as a goId-girt courser, rescue him from distress, the bounteous giver.
