ए॒तं ते॒ स्तोमं॑ तुविजात॒ विप्रो॒ रथं॒ न धीरः॒ स्वपा॑ अतक्षम् । यदीद॑ग्ने॒ प्रति॒ त्वं दे॑व॒ हर्याः॒ स्व॑र्वतीर॒प ए॑ना जयेम
etaṃ te stomaṃ tuvijāta vipro rathaṃ na dhīraḥ svapā atakṣam yadīdagne prati tvaṃ deva haryāḥ svarvatīrapa enā jayema
This hymn of yours the wise, born of the priestly class, do not drive away from the chariot; if toward Agni you go, may you, O divine, bring us victory on the heavenly shore.
This praise have I, a devout worshipper, composed for you, (Agni), who are born with many (faculties), as a steady dexterous (artisan fabricates) a car; if, divine Agni, you approve of it, then may we obtain abundant flowing water.
As a skilled craftsman makes a car, a singer I, Mighty One! this hymn for thee have fashioned. If thou, O Agni, God, accept it gladly, may we obtain thereby the heavenly Waters.
