यत्र॒ वह्नि॑र॒भिहि॑तो दु॒द्रव॒द्द्रोण्यः॑ प॒शुः । नृ॒मणा॑ वी॒रप॒स्त्योऽर्णा॒ धीरे॑व॒ सनि॑ता
yatra vahnirabhihito dudravaddroṇyaḥ paśuḥ nṛmaṇā vīrapastyo'rṇā dhīreva sanitā
Where the fire was urged on, the herd troubled the waters, the ox was cast; men, strong as builders, swiftly yoked the mighty beasts and bound them.
Whence the victim fit to be bound, the subject (of the sacrifice), has been stationed (at the sacrificial post); he, (Savitā), with mind well disposed towards the worshiper, the donor of dwellings and descendants is like a clever wife, the bestower (of wealth).
Where fire is set, and swiftly runs the victim dwelling in the trough, He wins, with heroes in his home, friendly to man, like constant streams.
