Lo, the swift steed hastens, leaping to the neck, bound to its seat with windy speed; the sacrificer followed making the rite, led the way and brandished the spear along the path.

And that horse bound by his neck, his flanks, his mouth, accelerates his paces; Dadhikrā increasing in vigour after the (sacred rite), following the windings of the roads, goes still more rapidly.

Bound by the neck and by the flanks and by the mouth, the vigorous Courser lends new swiftness to his speed. Drawing himself together, as his strength allows, Dadhikras springs along the windings of the paths.
