हयो न विद्वाꣳ अयुजि स्वयꣳ धुरि ताꣳ वहामि प्रतरणीम् अवस्युवम् । नास्या वश्मि विमुचꣳ नावृतम् पुनर् विद्वान् पथः पुरएत ऋजु नेषति

Like a knowing horse I have yoked myself at the pole; I draw that (burden) which carries forward and seeks help. I do not wish its unyoking, nor a turning back again; knowing the way, going in front, he will lead (us) straight.
