Be thou, O steed (vājín), of wind-swiftness, being harnessed (yuj) go in Indra's impulse, with mind-quickness; let the all-possessing Maruts harness thee; let Tvashṭar put quickness in thy feet.
जवस् ते अर्वन् निहितो गुहा यः श्येने वाते उत यो ऽचरत् परीत्तः । तेन त्वं वाजिन् बलवान् बलेनाजिं जय समने परयिष्णुः ॥२॥
javas te arvan nihito guhā yaḥ śyene vāte uta yo 'carat parīttaḥ | tena tvaṃ vājin balavān balenājiṃ jaya samane parayiṣṇuḥ ||2||
The quickness, O courser, that is put in thee in secret, also that went about committed to the hawk, to the wind—with that strength do thou, O steed, being strong, win the race, rescuing in the conflict.
Let thy body, O steed, conducting a body, run pleasance (vāmá) for us, protection for thyself; uninjured, great, a god for maintaining, may he set up his own light in the sky, as it were.
