When did the worlds’ charioteer decline, O Brahman? When in praise was the sustainer fed? When did you, O ruler, place a hymn of thought in this realm, O wisdom, making jewels of strength?
When may our prayers (be with you) in your chariot? When will you grant to your adorer the (means of) maintaining thousands? When will you recompense my adoration with riches? When will you render sacred rites productive of food?
WHEN shall our prayers rest in thy car beside thee? When dost thou give the singer food for thousands? When wilt thou clothe this poet's laud with plenty, and when wilt thou enrich our hymns with booty?
