4.40.1
द॒धि॒क्राव्ण॒ इदु॒ नु च॑र्किराम॒ विश्वा॒ इन्मामु॒षसः॑ सूदयन्तु ।
अ॒पाम॒ग्नेरु॒षसः॒ सूर्य॑स्य॒ बृह॒स्पते॑राङ्गिर॒सस्य॑ जि॒ष्णोः ॥
Let us now indeed praise Dadhikrā; may all the Dawns urge me on — in praise of the waters, Agni, Uṣas, Sūrya, Bṛhaspati and the victorious Āṅgirasa.
4.40.2
सत्वा॑ भरि॒षो ग॑वि॒षो दु॑वन्य॒सच्श्र॑व॒स्यादि॒ष उ॒षस॑स्तुरण्य॒सत् ।
स॒त्यो द्र॒वो द्र॑व॒रः प॑तंग॒रो द॑धि॒क्रावेष॒मूर्जं॒ स्व॑र्जनत् ॥
He, the true swift one, the nourisher, rich in cows, giver of shelter, swift from the Dawn — may Dadhikrā win food, strength and heavenly light.
4.40.3
उ॒त स्मा॑स्य॒ द्रव॑तस्तुरण्य॒तः प॒र्णं न वेरनु॑ वाति प्रग॒र्धिनः॑ ।
श्ये॒नस्ये॑व॒ ध्रज॑तो अङ्क॒सं परि॑ दधि॒क्राव्णः॑ स॒होर्जा तरि॑त्रतः ॥
Like the running, hastening motion of this one, the wind's feather-like speed blows along; with the strength of the swooping falcon Dadhikrā, it carries across.
4.40.4
उ॒त स्य वा॒जी क्षि॑प॒णिं तु॑रण्यति ग्री॒वायां॑ ब॒द्धो अ॑पिक॒क्ष आ॒सनि॑ ।
क्रतुं॑ दधि॒क्रा अनु॑ सं॒तवी॑त्वत्प॒थामङ्कां॒स्यन्वा॒पनी॑फणत् ॥
That strong horse, too, darts swiftly; tied at the neck and bound at the hobble, following Dadhikrā's purpose, it neighs along the curves of the paths.
4.40.5
हं॒सः शु॑चि॒षद्वसु॑रन्तरिक्ष॒सद्होता॑ वेदि॒षदति॑थिर्दुरोण॒सत् ।
नृ॒षद्व॑र॒सदृ॑त॒सद्व्यो॑म॒सद॒ब्जा गो॒जा ऋ॑त॒जा अ॑द्रि॒जा ऋ॒तम् ॥
The Swan, seated in the pure, a treasure, dwelling in the air, the priest seated on the altar, the guest, seated in the house, seated among men, seated in the best place, seated in cosmic order, seated in the sky; born of the waters, born of cows, born of cosmic order, born of the mountain — he is cosmic order.
