अभि तेऽधां सहमानामुप तेऽधां सहीयसीम् । मामनु प्र ते मनो वत्सं गौरिव धावतु पथा वारिव धावतु
I approach you, the victorious one; I come to you, the more victorious; let your mind not follow after me, as a cow follows her calf, as water flows along its path.
संशितं म इदं ब्रह्म संशितं वीर्यं बलम् । संशितं क्षत्रमजरमस्तु जिष्णुर्येषामस्मि पुरोहितः
This prayer of mine is sharpened, sharpened is my strength and power; sharpened is my unaging royal might—may I, their priest, be victorious.
समहमेषां राष्ट्रं स्यामि समोजो वीर्यं बलम् । वृश्चामि शत्रूणां बाहून् अनेन हविषा अहम्
May I be equal in sovereignty among them, equal in strength and power; with this offering I cut off the arms of my enemies.
नीचैः पद्यन्तामधरे भवन्तु ये नः सूरिं मघवानं पृतन्यान् । क्षिणामि ब्रह्मणामित्रान् उन् नयामि स्वान् अहम्
Let those who oppose our generous lord walk low and be beneath us; with prayer I diminish my foes and lead my own people upward.
तीक्ष्णीयांसः परशोरग्नेस्तीक्ष्णतरा उत । इन्द्रस्य वज्रात्तीक्ष्णीयांसो येषामस्मि पुरोहितः
Sharper than the axe, sharper even than fire, sharper than Indra's thunderbolt are those for whom I am the priest.
एषामहमायुधा सं स्याम्येषां राष्ट्रं सुवीरं वर्धयामि । एषां क्षत्रमजरमस्तु जिष्ण्वेषां चित्तं विश्वेऽवन्तु देवाः
May I be united with their weapons; may I increase their heroic kingdom; may their royal power be ageless and victorious; may all the gods protect their minds.
उद्धर्षन्तां मघवन् वाजिनान्युद्वीराणां जयतामेतु घोषः । पृथग्घोषा उलुलयः केतुमन्त उदीरताम् । देवा इन्द्रज्येष्ठा मरुतो यन्तु सेनया
Let the neighing of the victorious horses of Maghavan rise up; let the cries of the victorious resound separately, with banners raised; may the gods, with Indra at their head, and the Maruts, advance with the army.
प्रेता जयता नर उग्रा वः सन्तु बाहवः । तीक्ष्णेषवोऽबलधन्वनो हतोग्रायुधा अबलान् उग्रबाहवः
Go forth, win, O men; may your arms be mighty; let your arrows be sharp, your bows strong, your weapons deadly; let your strong arms strike down the weak.
अवसृष्टा परा पत शरव्ये ब्रह्मसंशिते । जय अमित्रान् प्र पद्यस्व जह्येषां वरंवरं मामीषां मोचि कश्चन
Released, fly far away, O arrow, sharpened by prayer; conquer the enemies, advance forward, strike down their best, and let none of them harm me.
अयं ते योनिर्ऋत्वियो यतो जातो अरोचथाः । तं जानन्न् अग्न आ रोहाधा नो वर्धय रयिम्
This is your origin, O priest, from which you were born and shone; knowing that, O Agni, ascend and increase our wealth.
अग्ने अच्छा वदेह नः प्रत्यङ्नः सुमना भव । प्र णो यच्छ विशां पते धनदा असि नस्त्वम्
Agni, come to us, speak for us, be kindly disposed toward us; grant us favor, lord of the people, for you are our giver of wealth.
प्र णो यच्छत्वर्यमा प्र भगः प्र बृहस्पतिः । प्र देवीः प्रोत सूनृता रयिं देवी दधातु मे
Let Aryaman grant us favor, let Bhaga, let Bṛhaspati; let the goddesses, the gracious ones, bestow wealth upon me.

We call for help upon King Soma, upon Agni with our songs; upon Āditya, Viṣṇu, Sūrya, and upon Bṛhaspati, the priest.

अर्यमणं बृहस्पतिमिन्द्रं दानाय चोदय । वातं विष्णुं सरस्वतीं सवितारं च वाजिनम्
Urge Aryaman, Bṛhaspati, and Indra to give; and also Vāta, Viṣṇu, Sarasvatī, and Savitṛ, the bestower of strength.
वाजस्य नु प्रसवे सं बभूविमेमा च विश्वा भुवनानि अन्तः । उतादित्सन्तं दापयतु प्रजानन् रयिं च नः सर्ववीरं नि यच्छ
At the outpouring of strength, may we unite, and may all these worlds be within us; let the wise one make the generous giver give, and grant us wealth abounding in heroes.
दुह्रां मे पञ्च प्रदिशो दुह्रामुर्वीर्यथाबलम् । प्रापेयं सर्वा आकूतीर्मनसा हृदयेन च
May the five regions yield for me, may the wide earth yield according to strength; may I attain all my desires with mind and heart.
गोसनिं वाचमुदेयं वर्चसा माभ्युदिहि । आ रुन्धां सर्वतो वायुस्त्वष्टा पोषं दधातु मे
May I utter speech rich as a herd of cows, may you grant me brilliance; let Vāyu restrain from all sides, and may Tvaṣṭṛ bestow prosperity upon me.
