कण्वा॑ इव॒ भृग॑वः॒ सूर्या॑ इव॒ विश्व॒मिद्धी॒तमा॑नशुः । इन्द्रं॒ स्तोमे॑भिर्म॒हय॑न्त आ॒यवः॑ प्रि॒यमे॑धासो अस्वरन्
kaṇvā iva bhṛgavaḥ sūryā iva viśvamiddhītamānaśuḥ indraṃ stomebhirmahayanta āyavaḥ priyamedhāso asvaran
Like Kanva is Bṛgu, like the sun is all the celebrated hosts; with hymns they magnify Indra, the beloved of riches, resounding with splendid gifts.
The Bhṛgus, like the Kaṇvas, have verily attained to the all- pervading (Indra), on whom they havemeditated, as the sun (pervades the unverse by his rays); men of the Priyamedha race, worshipping Indra withpraises glorify him.
The Bhrgus are like Suns, like Kanvas, and have gained all that their thoughts were bent upon. The living men of Priyamedha's race have sung exalting Indra with their lauds.
