Sanskrit text [Accents, Plain, Transliterated]:

अ॒भि तष्टे॑व दीधया मनी॒षामत्यो॒ न वा॒जी सु॒धुरो॒ जिहा॑नः । अ॒भि प्रि॒याणि॒ मर्मृ॑श॒त्परा॑णि क॒वीँरि॑च्छामि सं॒दृशे॑ सुमे॒धाः ॥
अभि तष्टेव दीधया मनीषामत्यो न वाजी सुधुरो जिहानः । अभि प्रियाणि मर्मृशत्पराणि कवीँरिच्छामि संदृशे सुमेधाः ॥
abhi taṣṭeva dīdhayā manīṣām atyo na vājī sudhuro jihānaḥ | abhi priyāṇi marmṛśat parāṇi kavīm̐r icchāmi saṃdṛśe sumedhāḥ ||

English translation:

“Repeat (to Indra) pious praise, as a carpenter (plural nes the wood), and engaging (zealously in sacred rites), as a quick horse bearing well his burden; endowed with intelligence, and refllecting upon the future acts acceptable (to Indra), I desire to behold the sages (whohave gone to heaven).”

Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya

As a quick horse: the instrumental tutor of the rite is supposed here to address the officiating priests, urging them to be diligent laboureres, like the carpenter of the pack-horse; acts acceptable to Indra: abhipriyāṇi marmṛśat parāṇi kavīṇicchāmi sandṛśe: priyāṇi = indrasya priyatamāni;

Parāṇi = uttamāni, best and most dear to Indra;

Karmāṇi = acts; or, parāṇi = acts to be done on subsequent days, uttareśvahassu kriyamāṇāni;

Kavi = krāntadarśī a seer of the past;here, it is said to mean a holy person n who, for his assiduous devotion, has attained deification, yaḥ pūrvam anuṣṭhitayajñaiḥ devabhūyam agamat; so, ye vai tena ṛṣayaḥ purve pretās te vai kavayaḥ (Aitareya Brāhmaṇa 6.20)
