A horse was born, fearless in speech; the chariot with three wheels circles its path. Great is the utterance of this goddess: the heavens were born and the earth and also what nourishes.
The glorious three-wheeled car (of the Aśvins made, Ṛbhus by you) traverses the firmament without horses, without reins; great was that proclamation of your divine (power), by which, Ṛbhus, you cherish heaven and earth.
THia car that was not made for horses or for reins, three-wheeled, worthy of lauds, rolls round the firmament. That is the great announcement of your Deity, that, O ye Rbhus, ye sustain the earth and heaven.
