प्र श्ये॒नो न म॑दि॒रमं॒शुम॑स्मै॒ शिरो॑ दा॒सस्य॒ नमु॑चेर्मथा॒यन् । प्राव॒न्नमीं॑ सा॒प्यं स॒सन्तं॑ पृ॒णग्रा॒या समि॒षा सं स्व॒स्ति
pra śyeno na madiramaṃśumasmai śiro dāsasya namucermathāyan prāvannamīṃ sāpyaṃ sasantaṃ pṛṇagrāyā samiṣā saṃ svasti
Send forth the hawk that will not touch wine; place the head of the servant to be honored. Bring forth that steed with bound limbs, fully laden, bringing prosperity and well-being.
And the hawk bore to Indra the exhilarating Soma, when, bruising the head of the oppressor Namuci, and protecting the slumbering Nami, the son of Sapya, he provided, for the weeell-being (of the sage), riches and food.
As the Hawk rent for him the stalk that gladdens, he wrenched the head from Namuci the Dasa. He guarded Nam, Sayya's son, in slumber, and sated him with food, success, and riches.
