1.6.1

यु॒ञ्जन्ति॑ ब्र॒ध्नम॑रु॒षं चर॑न्तं॒ परि॑ त॒स्थुषः॑ ।
रोच॑न्ते रोच॒ना दि॒वि ॥

They yoke the ruddy bolt that moves around those who stand; the lights shine in heaven.

यु॒ञ्जन्त्य॑स्य॒ काम्या॒ हरी॒ विप॑क्षसा॒ रथे॑ ।
शोणा॑ धृ॒ष्णू नृ॒वाह॑सा ॥

For his chariot they yoke the two beloved horses, of differing flanks, ruddy, bold, carriers of men.

के॒तुं कृ॒ण्वन्न॑के॒तवे॒ पेशो॑ मर्या अपे॒शसे॑ ।
समु॒षद्भि॑रजायथाः ॥

O men, making a sign for the unseeing and light for the unlit, you were born together with the dawns.

आदह॑ स्व॒धामनु॒ पुन॑र्गर्भ॒त्वमे॑रि॒रे ।
दधा॑ना॒ नाम॑ य॒ज्ञिय॑म् ॥

Then indeed, according to their own nature, they set themselves again into the embryonic state, bearing a name worthy of sacrifice.

वी॒ळु चि॑दारुज॒त्नुभि॒र्गुहा॑ चिदिन्द्र॒ वह्नि॑भिः ।
अवि॑न्द उ॒स्रिया॒ अनु॑ ॥

O Indra, with your powers that break open even the vast things hidden in the cave, you found the cows, like the dawns.

दे॒व॒यन्तो॒ यथा॑ म॒तिमच्छा॑ वि॒दद्व॑सुं॒ गिरः॑ ।
म॒हाम॑नूषत श्रु॒तम् ॥

As those seeking the gods look toward the wealth-finder with their thought, the songs praise the great and renowned one.

इन्द्रे॑ण॒ सं हि दृक्ष॑से संजग्मा॒नो अबि॑भ्युषा ।
म॒न्दू स॑मा॒नव॑र्चसा ॥

Indeed you two are seen together with Indra, meeting fearlessly, exhilarating and of the same splendor.

अ॒न॒व॒द्यैर॒भिद्यु॑भिर्म॒खः सह॑स्वदर्चति ।
ग॒णैरिन्द्र॑स्य॒ काम्यैः॑ ॥

With faultless, bright-shining praises the sacrifice mightily honors Indra, together with the lovely hosts of Indra.

अतः॑ परिज्म॒न्ना ग॑हि दि॒वो वा॑ रोच॒नादधि॑ ।
सम॑स्मिन्नृञ्जते॒ गिरः॑ ॥

From here, O far-going one, come hither, from the brightness of heaven or from above; in him the songs are joined together.

इ॒तो वा॑ सा॒तिमीम॑हे दि॒वो वा॒ पार्थि॑वा॒दधि॑ ।
इन्द्रं॑ म॒हो वा॒ रज॑सः ॥

From here or from heaven, or from the earthly realm, we seek a gift from Indra, from the great one, or from the air.
