AV 7 117.1

आ मन्द्रैर् इन्द्र हरिभिर् याहि मयूररोमभिः । मा त्वा के चिद् वि यमन् विं न पाशिनो ऽति धन्वेव ताꣳ इहि

ā mandrair indra haribhir yāhi mayūraromabhiḥ | mā tvā ke cid vi yaman viṃ na pāśino 'ti dhanveva tāṁ ihi

Come, Indra, with thy pleasing bays with peacock hair; let none hold thee back, as snarers (hold) a bird; pass them by as (thou passest) a desert.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Come hither, Indra, with bay steeds, joyous, with tails like pea- cock plumes. Let none impede thy way as fowlers stay the bird: pass o'er them as o'er desert lands.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
