अधाकृणोः प्रथमं वीर्यम् महद् यद् अस्याग्रे ब्रह्मणा शुष्मम् ऐरयः । रथेष्ठेन हर्यश्वेन विच्युताः प्र जीरयः सिस्रते सध्र्यक् पृथक् ॥

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Thou didst perform thy first great deed of hero might what time thou showedst power, through prayer, before this folk. Hurled down by thee the car-borne Lord of Tawny Steeds, the congregated swift ones fled in sundry ways.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
