1.111.1

takṣa̱n ratha̍ṁ su̱vṛta̍ṁ vidma̱nāpa̍sa̱s takṣa̱n harī̍ indra̱vāhā̱ vṛṣa̍ṇvasū |
takṣa̍n pi̱tṛbhyā̍m ṛ̱bhavo̱ yuva̱d vaya̱s takṣa̍n va̱tsāya̍ mā̱tara̍ṁ sacā̱bhuva̍m ||

WORKING with skill they wrought the lightly rolling car: they wrought the Bays who bear Indra and bring great gifts. The Ṛibhus for their Parents made life young again; and fashioned for the calf a mother by its side.

For sacrifice make for us active vital power for skill and wisdom food with noble progeny. Grant to our company this power most excellent, that with a family all-heroic we may dwell.

Indra, the Ṛibhus' Lord, I invocate for aid, the Ṛibhus, Vâjas, Maruts to the Soma draught. Varuṇa, Mitra, both, yea, and the Aṣvins Twain: let them speed us to wealth, wisdom, and victory.

May Ṛibhu send prosperity for battle, may Vâja conquering in the fight protect us. This prayer of ours may Varuṇa grant, and Mitra, and Aditi and Sindhu, Earth and Heaven.
