Sanskrit (Devanagari)
सं यज्जनान करतुभिः शूर ईक्षयद धने हिते तरुषन्त शरवस्यवः पर यक्षन्त शरवस्यवः | तस्मा आयुः परजावदिद बाधे अर्चन्त्योजसा | इन्द्र ओक्यं दिधिषन्त धीतयो देवानछा न धीतयः
IAST Romanisation
saṃ yajjanān kratubhiḥ śūra īkṣayad dhane hite taruṣanta śravasyavaḥ pra yakṣanta śravasyavaḥ | tasmā āyuḥ prajāvadid bādhe arcantyojasā | indra okyaṃ didhiṣanta dhītayo devānachā na dhītayaḥ
English Translation (Griffith)
When with wise plan the Hero leads the people forth, they conquer in the ordered battle, seeking fame, press, eager, onward seeking fame. To him in time of need they sing for life with offspring and with strength. Their hymns with Indra find a welcome place of rest: the hymns go forward to the Gods.
