LET us win glory, Agni, in our battles: enkindling you, may we support our bodies. May the four regions bend and bow before me: with you as guardian may we win in combat.
May all the Gods be on my side in battle, the Maruts led by Indra, Viṣṇu, Agni. Mine be the middle air’s extended region, and may the wind blow favoring these my wishes.
May the Gods grant me riches; may the blessings and invocations of the Gods assist me. Foremost in fight be the divine Invokers: may we, unharmed, have brave heroes around us.
For me let them present all my offerings, and may my mind’s intention be accomplished. May I be guiltless of the least transgression: and, all ye Gods, do ye combine to bless us.
Ye six divine Expanses, grant us freedom: here, all ye Gods, act like heroes. Let us not lose our children or our bodies: let us not benefit the foe, King Soma!
Baffling our opponents’ wrath, Agni, protect us as our infallible Protector. Let these your foes turn back and seek their houses, and let their thoughts, who watch at home, be ruined.
Lord of the world, Creator of creators, the savior God who overcomes the foe. May Gods, Bṛhaspati, both Aśvins shelter from ill this sacrifice and sacrificer.
Foodful, and much-invoked, at this our call, may the great Bull provide us wide protection. Lord of Bay Coursers, Indra, gave our children: harm us not, give us not as prey to others.
Let those who are our foes stay afar from us: with Indra and Agni, we will drive them off. Vasus, Ādityas, Rudras have exalted me, made me far-reaching, mighty, thinker, sovran lord.
