अश्वावती देवं उषसं गीर्भिर्हवामहे वयम्
स नः पर्षदति द्विषो नावेव सिन्धुं दुरिता
वयं स्याम पतयो रयीणां सुवीराः
Ashvavati Devam Ushasam Girbhirhavamahe Vayam
Sa Nah Parshadati Dvisho Naveva Sindhum Durita
Vayam Syama Patayo Rayinam Suvirah
With sacred songs we invoke the radiant God Ushas, rich in vital energy and swift steeds;
May He ferry us across all hostilities and sins like a boat across a river,
And may we, blessed with noble heroes, be lords of spiritual treasures.
