रथं॒ ये च॒क्रुः सु॒वृतं॑ सु॒चेत॒सोऽवि॑ह्वरन्तं॒ मन॑स॒स्परि॒ ध्यया॑ । ताँ ऊ॒ न्व१॒॑स्य सव॑नस्य पी॒तय॒ आ वो॑ वाजा ऋभवो वेदयामसि
rathaṃ ye cakruḥ suvṛtaṃ sucetaso'vihvarantaṃ manasaspari dhyayā tām̐ ū nva1sya savanasya pītaya ā vo vājā ṛbhavo vedayāmasi
They who made the chariot well, clear-minded and bearing the ritual, meditated with thought. Thus from that libation of yours the splendid steeds became the beacons; I know their strength like cows.
We invoke you respectfully, Vājas and Ṛbhus, to drink of this libation, for you are the wise sages, who, by mental meditation, made the well-constructed undeviating car (of the Aśvins).
Ye Sapient Ones who made the lightly-rolling car out of your mind, by thought, the car that never errs, You, being such, to drink of this drinkoffering, you, O ye Vajas, and ye Rbhus, we invoke.
