Young ones encircled the chariot and set the wheel in motion; grant us, auspicious-minded Protector, may the milch-cow run like a swift dog.
One of the wheels of your car moves in every direction; the other, impellers of actions, remains withyou; may your favour, lords of rain, hasten towards us as a cow (to her calf)!
One of your chariot wheels is moving swiftly round, one speeds for you its onward course. Like a milch-cow, O Lords of splendour, and with haste let your benevolence come to us.
