uta tyaṃ vīraṃ dhanasāmṛjīṣiṇaṃ dūre citsantamavase havāmahe yasya svādiṣṭhā sumatiḥ pituryathā mā no vi yauṣṭaṃ sakhyā mumocatam
Lift up that heroic, wealth-desiring, mighty one, remote and settled in mind; his flesh is the sweet thought of the sire—do not make us enemies—free our friendship.
We summon that hero to our protection, (the enjoyer) of wealth, the possessor of the Soma, who nowdwells afar off and whose hymn is most plural asing (to the gods) like his father's, sever not our friendships, but flingloose (your reins and gallop here).
Whether, O Sakra, thou be far, or, Vrtra-slayer, near at hand, Thence by heaven-reaching songs he who hath pressed the juice invites thee with thy long-maned Steeds.
