Then, extolled with blessings of victory by those aged in knowledge and years, active men who had conquered their senses, he mounted the great chariot, previously consecrated with victorious battle mantras — radiant, like the sun at its rising. He on the chariot, the foremost of charioteers, on the golden chariot, clad in gold, shone forth, spotless, radiant, like the sun upon Mount Meru.

The mounting of the chariot is surrounded with the sacred: the blessings of "vidyāvayovṛddhaiḥ jitendriyaiḥ", elders who have conquered their senses, and mantras "jaitraiḥ sāṃgrāmikaiḥ", victorious, battle-mantras. The warrior goes out to war encircled by the blessing of the wise and the power of the sacred word. The image "udayaṃ bhāskaraḥ", "like the sun at its rising", is a sign of the approaching day of victory. The verse teaches that a righteous deed should be begun under the blessing of those who know and consecrated by the word: not presumptuously, but leaning on the prayer of elders and the holy mantra does the faithful one go to his trial.
