rājeva hi janibhiḥ kṣeṣyevāva dyubhirabhi viduṣkaviḥ san piśā giro maghavangobhiraśvaistvāyataḥ śiśīhi rāye asmān
Ruler, indeed by kings I shall be supported; the poet, versed in rites, with clarified speech among cows and horses, comes to us for the king—assist us with skill and praise.
You dwell with your glories like a rājā with his wives; Maghavan, who are wise and experienced,(reward our) praises with the precious metals, with cows, with horses; conduct us who are dependent on yourriches.
For like a King among his wives thou dwellest: with glories, as a Sage, surround and help us. Make us, thy servants, strong for wealth, and honour our songs wirth kine and steeds and decoration.
