1

May Varuṇa guide us straight, and Mitra lead us, the one who knows, And Aryaman in harmony with the gods.

2

For they distribute wealth and, unswayed, with their might Guard the eternal laws.

3

May they protect us, Immortals for mortals, Chasing our foes away.

4

May they show us paths to joy, Indra, Maruts, Pūṣan, And Bhaga, the gods we adore.

5

Yes, Pūṣan, Viṣṇu, you who run your course, Enrich our hymns with cattle, bless us with all good fortune.

6

The winds carry sweet things, rivers pour sweet gifts For the man who follows the law; may plants be sweet for us.

7

Sweet be the night, sweet the dawns, sweet the earthly air; Sweet be our Father Heaven to us.

8

May the tall tree be filled with sweetness for us, and the Sun too, May our cows be sweet for us.

9

May Mitra be kind to us, and Varuṇa and Aryaman, Indra, Bṛhaspati be kind, and Viṣṇu with his great stride.
