स त्वं दक्ष॑स्यावृ॒को वृ॒धो भू॑र॒र्यः पर॒स्यान्त॑रस्य॒ तरु॑षः । रा॒यः सू॑नो सहसो॒ मर्त्ये॒ष्वा छ॒र्दिर्य॑च्छ वी॒तह॑व्याय स॒प्रथो॑ भ॒रद्वा॑जाय स॒प्रथः॑
sa tvaṃ dakṣasyāvṛko vṛdho bhūraryaḥ parasyāntarasya taruṣaḥ rāyaḥ sūno sahaso martyeṣvā chardiryaccha vītahavyāya sapratho bharadvājāya saprathaḥ
You are the skillful wolf's might, abundant in heroism, the lord of Daksha; the king, whose sons swiftly among mortals send forth the offering, first for Vritra and Bharadvaja the foremost.
Do you, who are unresisted, become the benefactor of him who is skilled (in sacred rites), his defender against a near of distant enemy; son of strength, who are ever renowned, grant wealth and a dwelling to vītahavya, the offerer of the oblation.
Be thou the foeless helper of the skilful man, subduer of the enemy near or far away. Bestow a wealthy home on men, O Son of Strength. Give Vitahavya riches spreading far and wide, give Bharadvaja wide-spread wealth.
