This hymn, the bestower of riches, has been addressed by the sages, with their own mouths, to the (class of) divinities having birth (lit. to the divine or brilliant birth; e.g. Ṛbhus--Ṛbhu, Vibhu and Vāja were pious men, who through penance became divinities).

They who created mentally for Indra the horses that are harnessed (carved) at his words, have partaken of the sacrifice performed with holy acts. (śamībhiḥ = ceremonies; i.e. they have pervaded, appropriated or accepted the sacrifice peformed with tongs, ladles, and utensils; an intimation of the mechanical skills of Ṛbhu).

They constructed for the Nāsatyās, a universally-moving and easy car, and a cow yielding milk. (takṣan = atakṣan, lit. they (Ṛbhus) chipped or fabricated, mechanically, the appendages of Indra and Aśvin).

The Ṛbhus, uttering unfailing prayers, endowed with rectitude, and succeeding (in all pious acts; viṣṭī = vyāptiyuktaḥ, i.e. encountering no opposition in all acts), made their (aged) parents young.

Ṛbhus, the exhilarating juices are offered to you, along with Indra, attended by the Maruts and along with the brilliang Ādityas.

The Ṛbhus have divided unto four the new ladle, the work of the divine Tvaṣṭā (i.e. devasambandhiḥ takṣana.vyāpāraḥ = divinity whose duty in relations to gods is carpentry; cf. tvaṣṭā tvaṣṭuḥ śiṣyāḥ Ṛbhavaḥ = Ṛbhus are the disciples of Tvaṣṭā; four ladles are an apparent reference to an innovation in the objects of libation for sharing).

May they, moved by our praises, give to the offere of the libation many precious things, and perfect the thrice seven sacrifices

Offerers (of sacrifices), they held (a moral existence); by their pious acts they obtained a share of sacrifices with the gods.
