सूर॑श्चि॒द्रथं॒ परि॑तक्म्यायां॒ पूर्वं॑ कर॒दुप॑रं जूजु॒वांस॑म् । भर॑च्च॒क्रमेत॑शः॒ सं रि॑णाति पु॒रो दध॑त्सनिष्यति॒ क्रतुं॑ नः
sūraścidrathaṃ paritakmyāyāṃ pūrvaṃ karaduparaṃ jūjuvāṃsam bharaccakrametaśaḥ saṃ riṇāti puro dadhatsaniṣyati kratuṃ naḥ
The sun’s sons before bound the chariot round the furrow, the strong turned it over; he who bears the wheel bears up our sacrifice, he preserves the rite for us.
He, (Indra), has formerly arrested in battle the rapid chariot of the sun; Etaśa has born away the wheel, and (with it Indra) demolishes (his foes); may he, giving us precedence, be propitiated by our rite.
When night was near its close he carried forward e'en the Sun's chariot backward in its running. Etaga brought his wheel and firmly stays it: setting it eastward he shall give us courage.
