They gave the swift steed to the strong man, they set him forth and granted him prowess that all attain; the bold hawklike hero, like the sun’s heat, the mighty one did not make the king coward.

And you two have given the swift Dadhikrā, the repeller of many (foes), the defender of all men, the straight-going, the graceful-moving, the resplendent, the rapid, the destroyer of enemies like a heroic prince.

And ye gave mighty Dadhikras, the giver of many gifts, who visiteth all people, Impetuous hawk, swift and of varied colour, like a brave King whom each true man must honour.
