AV 20 10.1

उद् उ ते मधुमत्तमा गिर स्तोमास ईरते । सत्राजितो धनसा अक्षितोतयो वाजयन्तो रथा इव

ud u te madhumattamā gira stomāsa īrate | satrājito dhanasā akṣitotayo vājayanto rathā iva

Up go the songs, the praises for you, most honeyed, altogether victorious, winning wealth, of unfailing help, like chariots racing for the prize.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

These songs of ours exceeding sweet, these hymns of praise as- cend to thee, Like ever-conquering chariots that display their strength, gain wealth and give unfailing aid.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)

AV 20 10.2

कण्वा इव भृगवः सूर्या इव विश्वम् इद् धीतम् आनशुः । इन्द्रं स्तोमेभिर् महयन्त आयवः प्रियमेधासो अस्वरन्

kaṇvā iva bhṛgavaḥ sūryā iva viśvam id dhītam ānaśuḥ | indraṃ stomebhir mahayanta āyavaḥ priyamedhāso asvaran

Like the Kaṇvas, like the Bhṛgus, like the suns, they have attained every thought; the Priyamedhas, magnifying Indra with praises, the Āyus, have sung out.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

The Bhrigus are like suns, like Kanvas, and have gained all that their thoughts were bent to win. The living men of Priyamedha's race have sung exalting Indra with their lauds.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
