Grown mighty in his strength, with ample vigour, he as a foe strikes fear into the Dasa, Eager to win the breathing and the breathless. All sang thy praise at banquet and oblation.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वे क्रतुम् अपि वृञ्जन्ति विश्वे द्विर् यद् एते त्रिर् भवन्त्य् ऊमाः । स्वादोः स्वादीयः स्वादुना सृजा सम् अदः सु मधु मधुनाभि योधीः ॥

All concentrate on thee their mental vigour, what time these, twice or thrice, are thine assistants. Blend what is sweeter than the sweet with sweetness: win. quickly with our meath that meath in battle.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
इति चिद् धि त्वा धना जयन्तम् मदे-मदे अनुमदन्ति विप्राः । ओजीयो धृष्णो स्थिरम् आ तनुष्व मा त्वा दभन् यातुधाना दुरेवाः ॥
iti cid dhi tvā dhanā jayantam made-made anumadanti viprāḥ | ojīyo dhṛṣṇo sthiram ā tanuṣva mā tvā dabhan yātudhānā durevāḥ ||
Therefore in thee too, thou who winnest riches, at every banquet are the sages joyful. With mightier power, Bold God, extend thy firmness: let not malignant Yatudhanas harm thee.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्वया वयं शाशद्महे रणेषु प्रपश्यन्तो युधेन्यानि भूरि । चोदयामि त आयुधा वचोभिः सं ते शिशामि ब्रह्मणा वयांसि ॥
tvayā vayaṃ śāśadmahe raṇeṣu prapaśyanto yudhenyāni bhūri | codayāmi ta āyudhā vacobhiḥ saṃ te śiśāmi brahmaṇā vayāṃsi ||
Proudly we put our trust in thee in battles, when we behold great wealth the prize of combat. I with my words impel thy weapons onward, and sharpen with my prayer thy vital vigour.
