uta ma ṛjre purayasya raghvī sumīḷhe śataṃ peruke ca pakvā śāṇḍo dāddhiraṇinaḥ smaddiṣṭīndaśa vaśāso abhiṣāca ṛṣvān
Rise up straight, O chariot of the city, speed forth; I have yoked a hundred swift bays and prepared cooked share. The leader gave offerings of milk and butter; with fixed gaze he invoked the hundredfold bands of seers.
May the two straight-going, light-moving, (mares) of Puraya be mine; may the hundred cows belonging to Sumīḷha, may the dressed viands prepared by Peruka be for me; may Ṣaṇḍa bestow upon me ten handsome golden chariots, and obedient, valian, and well-favoured (dependants).
Mine were two mares of Puraya, brown, swift-footed; a hundred with Sumidha, food with Peruk Sanda gave ten gold-decked and well-trained horses, tame and obedient and of lofty stature.
