1 This car that was not made for horses or for reins, three-wheeled, worthy of lauds, rolls round the firmament. That is the great announcement of your skill, that, O ye artisans, ye sustain the earth and heaven.

2 Ye sapient ones who made the lightly-rolling car out of your mind, by thought, the car that never errs, you, being such, to receive this offering, you, O ye Vajas, and ye artisans, we invoke.

3 O Vajas, artisans, reaching far, among the righteous this was your exaltation gloriously declared, in that your aged parents, worn with length of days, ye wrought again to youth so that they moved at will.

4 The chalice that was single ye have made fourfold, and by your wisdom brought the cow forth from the hide. So quickly, mid the righteous, ye gained lasting reward. Vajas and artisans, your great work must be extolled.

5 Wealth from the artisans is most glorious in renown, that which the heroes, famed for vigour, have produced. In assemblies must be sung the car which Vibhvan wrought: that which ye favour is famed among mankind.

6 Strong is the steed, the man a sage in eloquence, the bowman is a hero hard to beat in fight, great store of wealth and manly power hath he obtained whom Vaja, Vibhvan, the artisans have looked kindly on.

7 To you hath been assigned the fairest ornament, the hymn of praise: Vajas and artisans, joy therein; for ye have lore and wisdom and poetic skill: as such, with this our prayer we call on you to come.

8 According to the wishes of our hearts may ye, who have full knowledge of all the delights of men, fashion for us, O artisans, power and splendid wealth, rich in high courage, excellent, and vital strength.

9 Bestowing on us here riches and offspring, here fashion fame for us befitting heroes. Vouchsafe us wealth of splendid sort, O artisans, that we may make us more renowned than others.
