वि ह्य् अख्यम् मनसा वस्य इच्छन्न् इन्द्राग्नी ज्ञास उत वा सजातान् । नान्या युवत् प्रमतिर् अस्ति मह्यꣳ स वाꣳ धियꣳ वाजयन्तीम् अतक्षम्

vi hy akhyam manasā vasya icchann indrāgnī jñāsa uta vā sajātān | nānyā yuvat pramatir asti mahyaṁ sa vāṁ dhiyaṁ vājayantīm atakṣam

For I looked out with my mind, seeking what is better—at kinsmen, Indra and Agni, or at my own relations. There is for me no other providence than from you two; so I have fashioned for you a hymn that seeks the prize.

मा च्छेद्म रश्मीꣳर् इति नाधमानाः पितॄणाꣳ शक्तीर् अनुयच्छमानाः । इन्द्राग्निभ्याꣳ कꣳ वृषणो मदन्ति ता ह्य् अद्री धिषणाया उपस्थे
