Rig Veda, tr. by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1896], at sacred-texts.com
1. O JĀTAVEDAS, keen and swift, we Gotamas with sacred song exalt thee for thy glories' sake.
2 Thee, as thou art, desiring wealth Gotama worships with his song:
We laud thee for thy glories' sake.
3 As such, like Aṅgiras we call on thee best winner of the spoil:
We laud thee for thy glories' sake.
4 Thee, best of Vṛtra-slayers, thee who shakest off our Dasyu foes:
We laud thee for thy glories' sake.
5 A pleasant song to Agni we, sons of Rahūgaṅa, have sung:
We laud thee for thy glories' sake.
