वृका॑य चि॒ज्जस॑मानाय शक्तमु॒त श्रु॑तं श॒यवे॑ हू॒यमा॑ना । याव॒घ्न्यामपि॑न्वतम॒पो न स्त॒र्यं॑ चिच्छ॒क्त्य॑श्विना॒ शची॑भिः
vṛkāya cijjasamānāya śaktamuta śrutaṃ śayave hūyamānā yāvaghnyāmapinvatamapo na staryaṃ cicchaktyaśvinā śacībhiḥ
For the wolf whose flesh is torn, a mighty roar was heard—sacrificed on the couch, called with chant. As long as heat and cold assail not, Ashvins, strive with strength and vigor.
You have granted (his desires) to Vṛka, exhausted by his devotions; when called upon you havelistened to Śayu; you are they who have filled the barren cow (with milk) as (a river) with water; you have(endowed her) with strength, Aśvins, by your deeds.
Ye lent your aid to Vrka when exhausted, and listened when invoked to Sayu's calling. Ye made the cow pour forth her milk like water, and, Asvins, strengthened with your strength the barren.
