1

You created Atri, who was old but still agile, like a horse eager to reach its goal. When you rejuvenated Kakṣīvān, making him strong and youthful again,

2

You freed Atri, as if he were born anew, and brought him back to Earth. You loosened the tight knot that the gods had tied, unsoiled by dust.

3

Warriors who displayed the greatest wonder to Atri, strive to earn beautiful songs; For then, O Sky Warriors, your praise will never cease.

4

This calls to you, Generous Gods! - oblation, Aśvins! And our love, That you, O Warriors, in battle may bring us safely to a spacious place.

5

You two, tossed in the ocean at the ends of the world, Nāsatyas, with your winged attendants came close, and gave him strength to win.

6

Come with your joys, most generous Gods, Lords of all wealth, bringing good fortune. Like fresh water to a well, Heroes come and join us.
