LET US INVOCATE YOU BOTH THIS DAY AND AFTER THE PRIEST IS HERE WITH LAUDS WHEN MORROW IS BREAKING: Nāsatyas, wherever you may be, Heavenly Children, for the one more generous than the ungodly.

2

WITH US, YE MIGHTY, LET YOURSELVES BE JOYFUL, GLAD IN OUR STREAM OF SOMA, SLAY THE NIGGLARDS. Graciously hear my hymns and invitations, marking, O Heroes, with your chariots my longing.

3

Nāsatyas, Pūṣans, ye as Gods for glory arranged and set in order Sūrya's wedding. Your giant horses move on, sprung from the waters, like ancient times of Varuṇa the Mighty.

4

YOUR GRACE BE WITH US, YE WHO LOVE SWEET JUICES: FURTHER THE HYMN SUNG BY THE POET Māna, When men are joyful in your glorious deeds, to win heroic strength, ye Bounteous Givers.

5

THIS PRAISE WAS MADE, O LIBERAL LORDS, O Aśvins, for you with fair adornment by the Mānas. Come to our house for us and for our children, rejoicing, O Nāsatyas, in Agastya.

6

WE HAVE PASSED OVER THE LIMIT OF THIS DARKNESS: OUR PRAISE HAS BEEN BESTOWED ON YOU, O Aśvins. Come hitherward by paths which Gods have traveled. May we find strengthening food in full abundance.
