Sanskrit (Devanagari)

पर हि तवा पूषन्न अजिरं न यामनि सतोमेभिः कर्ण्व रणवो यथा मर्ध उष्ट्रो न पीपरो मर्धः | हुवे यत तवा मयोभुवं देवं सख्याय मर्त्यः | अस्माकम आङगूषान दयुम्निनस कर्धि वाजेषु दयुम्निनस कर्धि

IAST Romanisation

pra hi tvā pūṣann ajiraṃ na yāmani stomebhiḥ kṛṇva ṛṇavo yathā mṛdha uṣṭro na pīparo mṛdhaḥ | huve yat tvā mayobhuvaṃ devaṃ sakhyāya martyaḥ | asmākam āṅghūṣān dyumninas kṛdhi vājeṣu dyumninas kṛdhi

English Translation (Griffith)

Thee, then, O Pūṣan, like a swift one on his way, I urge with lauds that thou mayst make the foemen flee, drive, camel-like, our foes afar. As I, a man, call thee, a God, giver of bliss, to be my Friend, So make our loudly-chanted praises glorious, in battles make them glorious.
