1Many through thy dam, powerful through thy sire, thou art a horse, thou art a

2steed, thou art a runner, thou art a male, thou art a strong horse, thou art a racer, thou art powerful, thou art a stallion, thou art heroic hearted; 'goer' is thy name; do thou follow the course of the Adityas.

3To Agni hail! Hail to Indra and Agni! Hail to Prajapati! Hail to the All-gods! Hail to all the deities!

4Here is support, hail! Here is keeping apart, hail! Here is joy, hail! Here is delight, hail!

5Thou art becoming; to being thee, to what is becoming thee, to what shall be thee! To all beings thee!

6O gods that guard the quarters, do ye guard for the gods for sacrifice this horse duly besprinkled.
