1. A yellow eagle, thou hast ascended unto heaven (dív) with radiance (arcís); whoso (pl.) would injure thee flying up to heaven, them smite thou down with flame (háras), O Jātavedas, unfearing; ascend unto heaven, O sun, formidable, with radiance.

1. The trickish Asuras that go about, having metal nets, hooking with fetters of metal, them I make subject to thee with flame, O Jātavedas; go thou, a thousand-barbed thunderbolt, slaughtering our rivals.

1. May we see a hundred autumns.

2. May we live a hundred autumns.

3. May we wake a hundred autumns.
