Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Two red steeds Vayu yokes, Vayu two purple steeds, swift-footed, to the chariot, to the pole to draw, most able, at the pole, to draw. Wake up intelligence, as when a lover wakes his sleeping love. Illumine heaven and earth, make thou the Dawns to shine, for glory make the Dawns to shine.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
