The Apsarases rejoice in the shared feast, in the offering placed between the sun and us; may they join my hands together with ghee, may they subdue my rival, the deceitful gambler.
आदिनवं प्रतिदीव्ने घृतेनास्मामभि क्षर । वृक्षमिवाशन्या जहि यो अस्मान् प्रतिदीव्यति
Pour forth the new, the returning, with ghee upon us; strike down, as with an axe a tree, the one who opposes us in return.
यो नो द्युवे धनमिदं चकार यो अक्षाणां ग्लहनं शेषणं च । स नो देवो हविरिदं जुषाणो गन्धर्वेभिः सधमादं मदेम
He who by day has made this wealth for us, who has brought about the winning and the losing of the dice—may that god, accepting this offering, grant us joy in the shared feast with the Gandharvas.

‘Samvasava’ is your name, O fierce ones, the dice, lords of the realm; to them we offer libations with oblation—may we become masters of riches.

Agni and Indra, for the worshipper, you have slain the adversaries; for you both are slayers of foes.

By whom the worlds were conquered at the very beginning, by whom all beings were established—O mighty ones, strong-armed, destroyers of foes, I invoke Agni and Indra, the slayers of adversaries.
उप त्वा देवो अग्रभीच्चमसेन बृहस्पतिः । इन्द्र गीर्भिर्न आ विश यजमानाय सुन्वते
To you the god grasped the ladle, O Indra, Brihaspati; come to us with praises, O Indra, for the worshipper who pours the offering.
इन्द्रस्य कुक्षिरसि सोमधान आत्मा देवानामुत मानुषाणाम् । इह प्रजा जनय यास्त आसु या अन्यत्रेह तास्ते रमन्ताम्
You are Indra’s belly, the seat of Soma, the soul of the gods and of men; here, generate offspring—those who are here, and those elsewhere, may they find delight here.

Brightly shining, O Heaven and Earth, of noble vow, of great ordinance, the seven divine waters have flowed forth—may they release us from distress.

May they release me from curses, and also from the wrath of Varuna, and from the fetter of Yama, from every divine offense.
तृष्टिके तृष्टवन्दन उदमूं छिन्धि तृष्टिके । यथा कृतद्विष्टासोऽमुष्मै शेप्यावते
O thirst, O thirst-remover, cut off that thirst; as those who have done wrong are bound for him, so bind it for the one who is to be bound.
तृष्टासि तृष्टिका विषा विषातक्यसि । परिवृक्ता यथासस्यृषभस्य वशेव
You are thirst, O thirst-remover, you are poison, you are the poison-remover; as the rope is loosened from the bull, so release me.
7.119(7.114) आ ते ददे वक्षणाभ्य आ तेऽहं हृदयाद्ददे । आ ते मुखस्य सङ्काशात्सर्वं ते वर्च आ ददे
To you I give from my sides, to you I give from my heart, to you I give from the brightness of my mouth—thus I give you all your radiance.
प्रेतो यन्तु व्याध्यः प्रानुध्याः प्रो अशस्तयः । अग्नी रक्षस्विनीर्हन्तु सोमो हन्तु दुरस्यतीः

Whatever misfortune, joined with poverty and ill-will, has fallen upon me, as a creeper falls from a tree—O Savitar, golden-handed, bestower of wealth, carry that away elsewhere from us.
एकशतं लक्ष्म्यो मर्त्यस्य साकं तन्वा जनुषोऽधि जाताः । तासां पापिष्ठा निरितः प्र हिण्मः शिवा अस्मभ्यं जातवेदो नियच्छ
A hundred forms of misfortune are born together with the mortal, with his body and life; among them, we drive away the most sinful, the ruinous ones—O Jātavedas, grant us the auspicious.
एता एना व्याकरं खिले गा विष्ठिता इव । रमन्तां पुण्या लक्ष्मीर्याः पापीस्ता अनीनशम्
With these (words) I separate out, as one sorts cows in a herd; let the auspicious fortunes delight here, and let the most wicked ones depart from us.
