1

Here is one light for you, another yonder; enter the third and they will unite with you. May you be welcomed with a body, dear to the Gods in their highest abode.

2

With your body, Vajin, may your body bring us blessings and protect us. Steadfast, establish yourself as if in heaven, the mighty God’s supporter.

3

You are a strong steed; go to the yearning maidens with vigor, happily go to heaven and praise. Fly happily to the Gods with ease, according to the first and faithful statutes.

4

The Fathers have also gained part of their grandeur; the Gods have placed mental power in them as Gods. They have encompassed all energies within themselves, which, issuing forth, return to their bodies.

5

They marched through all regions with victorious might, establishing the ancient immeasurable laws. They encompassed all existing things within their bodies and emitted offerings in various forms.

6

By the third act, the sons have established the Asura who finds the light in its place, As fathers, they have set their legacy on Earth, their offspring, like a thread continuously spun out.

7

Like a ship through billows, through the regions of air, with blessings, through trials and tribulations Has Bṛhaduktha brought his seed with glory and placed it here and in realms beyond us.
