4.38.1
उ॒तो हि वां॑ दा॒त्रा सन्ति॒ पूर्वा॒ या पू॒रुभ्य॑स्त्र॒सद॑स्युर्नितो॒शे ।
क्षे॒त्रा॒सां द॑दथुरुर्वरा॒सां घ॒नं दस्यु॑भ्यो अ॒भिभू॑तिमु॒ग्रम् ॥
Indeed, the ancient gifts of you two are there, which Trasadasyu gave for the people; you gave a mass rich in fields and pastures, and gave the dasyus a fierce overpowering defeat.
4.38.2
उ॒त वा॒जिनं॑ पुरुनि॒ष्षिध्वा॑नं दधि॒क्रामु॑ ददथुर्वि॒श्वकृ॑ष्टिम् ।
ऋ॒जि॒प्यं श्ये॒नं प्रु॑षि॒तप्सु॑मा॒शुं च॒र्कृत्य॑म॒र्यो नृ॒पतिं॒ न शूर॑म् ॥
And you also gave Dadhikra, the strong, much-attended, all-famed, swift as a hawk, quick-flowing, the swift mover of the Aryan, like a lord of men and a hero.
4.38.3
यं सी॒मनु॑ प्र॒वते॑व॒ द्रव॑न्तं॒ विश्वः॑ पू॒रुर्मद॑ति॒ हर्ष॑माणः ।
प॒ड्भिर्गृध्य॑न्तं मेध॒युं न शूरं॑ रथ॒तुरं॒ वात॑मिव॒ ध्रज॑न्तम् ॥
Whom, as he runs like a flowing stream, the whole Puru people rejoices in gladness; eager on foot, like a wise hero, speeding his chariot, he runs like the wind.
4.38.4
यः स्मा॑रुन्धा॒नो गध्या॑ स॒मत्सु॒ सनु॑तर॒श्चर॑ति॒ गोषु॒ गच्छ॑न् ।
आ॒विरृ॑जीको वि॒दथा॑ नि॒चिक्य॑त्ति॒रो अ॑र॒तिं पर्याप॑ आ॒योः ॥
Who indeed, obstructing the fords in contests, moves very swiftly, going among the cows; clear-winning, discerning of the sacred rites, he crosses the hostile across to the waters of the flowing.
4.38.5
उ॒त स्मै॑नं वस्त्र॒मथिं॒ न ता॒युमनु॑ क्रोशन्ति क्षि॒तयो॒ भरे॑षु ।
नी॒चाय॑मानं॒ जसु॑रिं॒ न श्ये॒नं श्रव॒श्चाच्छा॑ पशु॒मच्च॑ यू॒थम् ॥
And the settlers shout after him in the battles, as after a garment-stealing thief; lowered like a hawk going to the racer, fame and toward the cattle-possessing herd, he rushes.
4.38.6
उ॒त स्मा॑सु प्रथ॒मः स॑रि॒ष्यन्नि वे॑वेति॒ श्रेणि॑भी॒ रथा॑नाम् ।
स्रजं॑ कृण्वा॒नो जन्यो॒ न शुभ्वा॑ रे॒णुं रेरि॑हत्कि॒रणं॑ दद॒श्वान् ॥
And foremost among them, about to go with the ranks of chariots, making a garland, shining like one newly born, licking the dust, having seen the light, he hastens.
4.38.7
उ॒त स्य वा॒जी सहु॑रिर्ऋ॒तावा॒ शुश्रू॑षमाणस्त॒न्वा॑ सम॒र्ये ।
तुरं॑ य॒तीषु॑ तु॒रय॑न्नृजि॒प्यो अधि॑ भ्रु॒वोः कि॑रते रे॒णुमृ॒ञ्जन् ॥
And that strong, victorious keeper of ṛta, alert in his body in the contest, swift among the racers, quick and brisk, shakes dust over his brows.
4.38.8
उ॒त स्मा॑स्य तन्य॒तोरि॑व॒ द्योर्ऋ॑घाय॒तो अ॑भि॒युजो॑ भयन्ते ।
य॒दा स॒हस्र॑म॒भि षी॒मयो॑धीद्दु॒र्वर्तुः॑ स्मा भवति भी॒म ऋ॒ञ्जन् ॥
And indeed, at his wrath, as at the thunder of the sky, those who assail him fear; when he rushes at a thousand, he becomes unassailable and terrible.
4.38.9
उ॒त स्मा॑स्य पनयन्ति॒ जना॑ जू॒तिं कृ॑ष्टि॒प्रो अ॒भिभू॑तिमा॒शोः ।
उ॒तैन॑माहुः समि॒थे वि॒यन्तः॒ परा॑ दधि॒क्रा अ॑सरत्स॒हस्रैः॑ ॥
And indeed people praise his speed and the overpowering victory of the swift Āśu, strong among men; and in the assembly the wise say of him: Dadhikrā has run far away with thousands.
4.38.10
आ द॑धि॒क्राः शव॑सा॒ पञ्च॑ कृ॒ष्टीः सूर्य॑ इव॒ ज्योति॑षा॒पस्त॑तान ।
स॒ह॒स्र॒साः श॑त॒सा वा॒ज्यर्वा॑ पृ॒णक्तु॒ मध्वा॒ समि॒मा वचां॑सि ॥
Dadhikrā, by his might, spreads the waters for the five peoples, as the sun does with its light. May the swift steed, giver of thousands and hundreds, fill these words with honey.
