ए॒ष प्र पू॒र्वीरव॒ तस्य॑ च॒म्रिषोऽत्यो॒ न योषा॒मुद॑यंस्त भु॒र्वणिः॑ । दक्षं॑ म॒हे पा॑ययते हिर॒ण्ययं॒ रथ॑मा॒वृत्या॒ हरि॑योग॒मृभ्व॑सम्
eṣa pra pūrvīrava tasya camriṣo'tyo na yoṣāmudayaṃsta bhurvaṇiḥ dakṣaṃ mahe pāyayate hiraṇyayaṃ rathamāvṛtyā hariyogamṛbhvasam
This is the ancient offering and its red dye, not the rising of youths but the fruitful earth. Daksha pours out golden splendour, the chariot enclosed, the remover of sins unites with holy practice.
Veracious (Indra) has risen up (as ardently) as a horse (approaches) a mare, to partake of the copious libations (contained) in the (sacrificial) ladles; having stayed his well-horsed, golden, and splendid chariot, heplies himself, capable of heroid (actions with Soma).
FOR this man's full libations held in ladles, he hath roused him, eager, as a horse to meet the mare. He stays his golden car, yoked with Bay Horses, swift, and drinks the Soma juice which strengthens for great deeds.
