Pleasant to chant are the fathers, the youthful warriors, trouble-enduring, powerful, deep-minded; the bright-armied, with strong bows, inexhaustible in strength, the heroic ones, the chest-bearing champions with prowess.

The guards (of chariot), revelling in the savoury (spoil), distributors of food, protecors in calamity, armed with spears, resolute, beautifully arranged, strong in arrows, invincible, of heroic valour, robust, and conquerors of numerous hosts.

In sweet association lived the fathers who gave us life, profound and strong in trouble, Unwearied, armed with shafts and wondrous weapons, free, real heroes, conquerors of armies.
