तुविग्रीवो वर्षभो वाव्र्धानो ऽशत्र्व अर्यः सम अजाति वेदः | इतीमम अग्निम अम्र्ता अवोचन बर्हिष्मते मनवे शर्म यंसद धविष्मते मनवे शर्म यंसत

tuvighrīvo vṛṣabho vāvṛdhāno 'śatrv aryaḥ sam ajāti vedaḥ | itīmam aghnim amṛtā avocan barhiṣmate manave śarma yaṃsad dhaviṣmate manave śarma yaṃsat
English Translation (Griffith)
May he, the strong-necked Steer, waxing in vigour, gather the foeman's wealth with none to check him. Thus to this Agni have the Immortals spoken. To man who spreads the grass may he grant shelter, grant shelter to the man who brings oblation.
