तक्षन् रथꣳ सुवृतꣳ विद्मनापसस् तक्षन् हरी इन्द्रवाहा वृषण्वसू । तक्षन् पितृभ्याम् ऋभवो युवद् वयस् तक्षन् वत्साय मातरꣳ सचाभुवम्

takṣan rathaṁ suvṛtaṁ vidmanāpasas takṣan harī indravāhā vṛṣaṇvasū | takṣan pitṛbhyām ṛbhavo yuvad vayas takṣan vatsāya mātaraṁ sacābhuvam

Working with skill, they fashioned the well-running chariot; they fashioned the two bay horses that draw Indra, rich in bulls; they fashioned youthful vigor for their two parents; they fashioned for the calf a mother to stay beside it.

RV 1 111.2

आ नो यज्ञाय तक्षत ऋभुमद् वयः क्रत्वे दक्षाय सुप्रजावतीम् इषम् । यथा क्षयाम सर्ववीरया विशा तन् नः शर्धाय धासथा स्व् इन्द्रियम्

ā no yajñāya takṣata ṛbhumad vayaḥ kratve dakṣāya suprajāvatīm iṣam | yathā kṣayāma sarvavīrayā viśā tan naḥ śardhāya dhāsathā sv indriyam

Fashion for us, for the sacrifice, vigor such as the Ṛbhus have; for resolve and for skill, nourishment rich in offspring — so that we may dwell with a clan complete in heroes. Lay you that Indra-power well in our troop.

ऋभुक्षणम् इन्द्रम् आ हुव ऊतय ऋभून् वाजान् मरुतः सोमपीतये । उभा मित्रावरुणा नूनम् अश्विना ते नो हिन्वन्तु सातये धिये जिषे

ṛbhukṣaṇam indram ā huva ūtaya ṛbhūn vājān marutaḥ somapītaye | ubhā mitrāvaruṇā nūnam aśvinā te no hinvantu sātaye dhiye jiṣe

I call Indra, lord of the Ṛbhus, for aid; the Ṛbhus, the Vājas, the Maruts, to the soma-drinking; both Mitra and Varuṇa now, and the Aśvins: may they urge us on to winning, to insight, to victory.

ऋभुर् भराय सꣳ शिशातु सातिꣳ समर्यजिद् वाजो अस्माꣳ अविष्टु । तन् नो मित्रो वरुणो मामहन्ताम् अदितिः सिन्धुः पृथिवी उत द्यौः

ṛbhur bharāya saṁ śiśātu sātiṁ samaryajid vājo asmām̐ aviṣṭu | tan no mitro varuṇo māmahantām aditiḥ sindhuḥ pṛthivī uta dyauḥ

Let Ṛbhu whet the winnings for (our) carrying-off; let Vāja, who conquers in the contests, help us. That may Mitra and Varuṇa grant us richly, and Aditi, Sindhu, Earth, and Heaven.
