May bulls grow for you; heaven's bulls carry you with the Vishis. May a bull-car, swift and strong, bearing thunder, be ours.
May the effective eulogium melt you, the showerer (of benefits); you, the showerer, are borne (to the sacrifice) by vigorous steeds sender of rain, you of the handsome shin, wielder of the thunderbolt, showerer, whose car showers down (blessings), do you defend us in battle.
May the strong Heaven make thee the Strong wax stronger: Strong, thou art borne by thy two strong Bay Horses. So, fair of cheek, with mighty chariot, mighty, uphold us, strong-willed, thunderarmed, in battle.
