Come, O Maruts of one fury, to our formulations, to our pressings, like the praise of men. Make (it) swell as (one makes) a milch-cow in the udder; make for the singer a poem fashioned of prize-winning strength.

Give us that prize-winner in the chariot, Maruts, and a formulation that is drunk in and awakens day by day; refreshment for the praisers, for the poet among the settlements gain, insight, and unharmed, insuperable might.

That course of yours, O Maruts, appears brilliant — that your kinsmen milked out Pṛśni's udder; or when, O sons of Rudra, at the reviling of the one who roars (against you), you undeceivable ones (gave) Trita over to old age among those growing old.

They, the Daśagvas, were the first to convey the sacrifice; may they impel us at the shinings-forth of the dawns. Like Dawn uncovering the nights with her ruddy (rays), with the great, gleaming light that streams with cows.

yayā radhram pārayathāty aṁho yayā nido muñcatha vanditāram | arvācī sā maruto yā va ūtir o ṣu vāśreva sumatir jigātu

(That help) by which you carry the feeble one across distress, by which you free the one who praises from scorn — let that aid of yours, O Maruts, turn hither; let your favour come well to us, like a lowing (cow to her calf).
