आ हि ष्मा॒ याति॒ नर्य॑श्चिकि॒त्वान्हू॒यमा॑नः सो॒तृभि॒रुप॑ य॒ज्ञम् । स्वश्वो॒ यो अभी॑रु॒र्मन्य॑मानः सुष्वा॒णेभि॒र्मद॑ति॒ सं ह॑ वी॒रैः
ā hi ṣmā yāti naryaścikitvānhūyamānaḥ sotṛbhirupa yajñam svaśvo yo abhīrurmanyamānaḥ suṣvāṇebhirmadati saṃ ha vīraiḥ
Surely the man goes forth, famed among men, honored by singers with hymns and offerings: his own steeds, cherished in mind, bring him joy; with heroic companions he is strengthened.
May Indra, the friend of man, the omniscient, come to the sacrifice when invoked by the offerers of libations; he is possessed of good horses, who is fearless honoured by the effusers of libations, who rejoices with the heroes (the Maruts).
Man's Friend, to this our sacrifice he cometh marking how he is called by Soma-pressers. Fearless, and conscious that his Steeds are noble, he joyeth with the Soma-pouring heroes.
