SV 2 8303.1
आ मन्द्रैरिन्द्र हरिभिर्याहि मयूररोमभिः । मा त्वा के चिन्नि येमुरिन्न पाशिनोऽति धन्वेव तां इहि
ā mandrairindra haribhiryāhi mayūraromabhiḥ | mā tvā ke cinni yemurinna pāśino'ti dhanveva tāṃ ihi
Come, Indra, with your delightful bay horses with peacock hair; let no one hold you back, as fowlers do (a bird): pass them by as though (crossing) a desert.

Come hither, Indra, with bay steeds, joyous, with tails like peacocks' plumes! Let no men check thy course as fowlers stay the bird: pass o'er them as o'er desert lands!
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)
SV 2 8303.2
वृत्रखादो वलं रुजः पुरां दर्मो अपामजः । स्थाता रथस्य हर्योरभिस्वर इन्द्रो दृढा चिदारुजः
vṛtrakhādo valaṃ rujaḥ purāṃ darmo apāmajaḥ | sthātā rathasya haryorabhisvara indro dṛḍhā cidārujaḥ
The devourer of Vṛtra, who broke Vala, the shatterer of strongholds, the driver of the waters, who stands on the chariot, who calls to his two bays — Indra, the breaker even of what is firm.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
Vritra's devourer, he who burst the cloud, brake forts, and drave the floods, Indra, who mounts his chariot at his bay steeds' cry, shatters e'en things that stand most firm.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)
SV 2 8303.3
गम्भीरां उदधींरिव क्रतुं पुष्यसि गा इव । प्र सुगोपा यवसं धेनवो यथा ह्रदं कुल्या इवाशत
gambhīrāṃ udadhīṃriva kratuṃ puṣyasi gā iva | pra sugopā yavasaṃ dhenavo yathā hradaṃ kulyā ivāśata
You make your resolve swell deep, like the oceans, (and) like cows; forward, as a good herdsman (drives) to the pasture, as milch-cows (go), they have reached (you) as channels reach a pool.
AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain
Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
Like pools of water deep and full, like kine thou cherishest thy might; Like the milch-cows that go well-guarded to the mead, like water-brooks that reach the lake.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)
