ऋ॒भु॒तो र॒यिः प्र॑थ॒मश्र॑वस्तमो॒ वाज॑श्रुतासो॒ यमजी॑जन॒न्नरः॑ । वि॒भ्व॒त॒ष्टो वि॒दथे॑षु प्र॒वाच्यो॒ यं दे॑वा॒सोऽव॑था॒ स विच॑र्षणिः
ṛbhuto rayiḥ prathamaśravastamo vājaśrutāso yamajījanannaraḥ vibhvataṣṭo vidatheṣu pravācyo yaṃ devāso'vathā sa vicarṣaṇiḥ
Ribhus first heard the wealth, the earliest of songs; a man invented the vehicle of fame. He shone in choirs among the deeds, proclaimed among the gods him whom the heavenly hosts made their longing.
From the Ṛbhus may wealth, the best and most productive of food, (come to me); that which the leaders of rites renowned together with the Vājas, have engendered; that which has been fabricated by Vibhvan and is to be celebrated at sacrifice; that which, deities you protect, that is to be beheld.
Wealth from the Rbhus is most glorious in renown, that which the Heroes, famed for vigour, have produced. In synods must be sung the car which Vibhvan wrought: that which ye favour, Gods! is famed among mankind.
