sadāpṛṇo yajato vi dviṣo vadhīdbāhuvṛktaḥ śrutavittaryo vaḥ sacā ubhā sa varā pratyeti bhāti ca yadīṃ gaṇaṃ bhajate suprayāvabhiḥ
Ever favorable to the sacrificer, he who knows speaks against the enemy with arm‑strength; both these excellences come back — he shines, if a people serves him with good rites.
May Sadāpṛṇa, Yajata, Bahuvṛkta, Śrutavit, Tarya, associated with you, destoy, your foes; the ṛṣi obtains his desires in both (worlds), and shines brightly, whenever he adores with well-mingled (offerings and praises) the host (of heaven).
Sadaprna the holy, Tarya, Srutavit, and Bahuvrkta, joined with you, have slain the foes. He gains his wish in both the worlds and brightly shines-when he adores the host with well-advancing steeds.
