1 Now give we praise to Dadhikras the rapid, and mention in our laud the earth and heaven. May the dawns flushing move me to exertion, and bear me safely over every trouble.

2 I praise the mighty Steed who fills my spirit, the Stallion Dadhikravan rich in bounties, whom, swift of foot and shining bright as flame, the All-Seeing and the Friend gave to the Purus.

3 Him who hath honoured, when the flame is kindled at break of dawn, the Courser Dadhikravan, him, of one mind with the All-Seeing and the Friend, may the Boundless One make free from all transgression.

4 When we remember mighty Dadhikravan, our food and strength, then the blest names of God, the All-Seeing, the Friend, the Radiant, the Mighty, we invoke for welfare, and the storm-angels also.

5 Both sides invoke him as they call on the Mighty One when they stir forth and turn to worship. To us have the All-Seeing and the Friend granted the Courser Dadhikras, a guide for mortals.

6 So have I glorified with praise strong Dadhikravan, conquering Steed. Sweet may he make our mouths; may he prolong the days we have to live.
