There are Dawn and Night, the grand and beautiful pair, Earth, Heaven, and Varuṇa, Mitra, and Aryaman. Indra I call, the Maruts, Mountains, and the Floods, Ādityas, Heaven and Earth, the Waters, and the Sky.
May Dyaus and Prthivi, wise and true to Holy Law, keep us in safety from distress and injury. Let not malignant Nirrti rule over us. We crave today this gracious favor of the Gods.
Mother of Mitra and opulent Varuṇa, may Aditi preserve us safe from all distress. May we obtain the light of heaven without a foe. We crave today this gracious favor of the Gods.
May ringing press-stones keep the Rākṣasas afar, ill dreams, and Nirrti, and each voracious fiend. May the Ādityas and the Maruts shelter us. We crave today this gracious favor of the Gods.
Full flow libations; on our grass let Indra sit; Bṛhaspati the singer laud with Sāma hymns! Wise be our hearts' imaginings that we may live. We crave today this gracious favor of the Gods.
Ye Aśvins, make our sacrifice ascend to heaven, and animate the rite that it may send us bliss, Offered with holy oil, with forward-speeding rein. We crave today this gracious favor of the Gods.
Hither I call the band of Maruts, swift to hear, great, purifying, bringing bliss, to be our Friends. May we increase our wealth to glorify our name. We crave today this gracious favor of the Gods.
We bring the Stay of Life, who makes the waters swell, swift-hearing, Friend of Gods, who waits on sacrifice. May we control that Power, Soma whose rays are bright. We crave today this gracious favor of the Gods.
Alive ourselves, with living sons, devoid of guilt, may we win this with winners by fair means to win. Let the prayer-haters bear our sin to every side. We crave today this gracious favor of the Gods.
Hear us, O you who claim the worship of mankind, and give us, O you Gods, the gift for which we pray, Victorious wisdom, fame with heroes and with wealth. We crave today this gracious favor of the Gods
