अयं ते अस्म्युप न एह्यर्वाङ्प्रतीचीनः सहुरे विश्वदावन् । मन्यो वज्रिन्न् अभि न आ ववृत्स्व हनाव दस्यूंरुत बोध्यापेः
Here I am for you—come near, O mighty one, ever victorious; O Wrath, wielder of the thunderbolt, turn towards us—let us strike down the Dasyus, be attentive to our call.
अभि प्रेहि दक्षिणतो भवा नोऽधा वृत्राणि जङ्घनाव भूरि । जुहोमि ते धरुणं मध्वो अग्रमुभावुपांशु प्रथमा पिबाव
Advance upon us from the right, be for us; strike down many obstacles and foes; I offer you the foremost portion of the sweet drink—let us both drink the first libation in secret.
अप नः शोशुचदघमग्ने शुशुग्ध्या रयिम् । अप नः शोशुचदघम्
Drive away from us, O Agni, the burning sin; drive it away, and grant us wealth; drive away from us the burning sin.
सुक्षेत्रिया सुगातुया वसूया च यजामहे । अप नः शोशुचदघम्
For good fields, good paths, and wealth, we worship you; drive away from us the burning sin.
प्र यद्भन्दिष्ठ एषां प्रास्माकासश्च सूरयः । अप नः शोशुचदघम्
May the blessings of these, and our own lords, be manifest; drive away from us the burning sin.
प्र यत्ते अग्ने सूरयो जायेमहि प्र ते वयम् । अप नः शोशुचदघम्
May we be born, O Agni, with your blessings; may we, with you, drive away the burning sin.
प्र यदग्नेः सहस्वतो विश्वतो यन्ति भानवः । अप नः शोशुचदघम्
As the rays of the mighty Agni go forth in all directions, may the burning sin depart from us.
त्वं हि विश्वतोमुख विश्वतः परिभूरसि । अप नः शोशुचदघम्
For you, facing all sides, encompass everything; may the burning sin depart from us.
द्विषो नो विश्वतोमुखाति नावेव पारय । अप नः शोशुचदघम्
O you who face all sides, carry us across our haters as in a boat; may the burning sin depart from us.
स नः सिन्धुमिव नावाति पर्ष स्वस्तये । अप नः शोशुचदघम्
Carry us for well-being, as a boat over a river; may the burning sin depart from us.
ब्रह्मास्य शीर्षं बृहदस्य पृष्ठं वामदेव्यमुदरमोदनस्य । छन्दांसि पक्षौ मुखमस्य सत्यं विष्टारी जातस्तपसोऽधि यज्ञः
Brahman is its head, Bṛhat its back, Vāmadeva its belly, Odana its sides; the metres are its wings, truth its mouth, and the sacrificial porridge, born from austerity, is spread forth upon it.
अनस्थाः पूताः पवनेन शुद्धाः शुचयः शुचिमपि यन्ति लोकम् । नैषां शिश्नं प्र दहति जातवेदाः स्वर्गे लोके बहु स्त्रैणमेषाम्
Boneless, purified, cleansed by wind, pure, they go to the pure world; for them, the fire does not burn the organ, and in the heavenly world, there is much of the feminine for them.
विष्टारिणमोदनं ये पचन्ति नैनान् अवर्तिः सचते कदा चन । आस्ते यम उप याति देवान्त्सं गन्धर्वैर्मदते सोम्येभिः
Those who cook the spreading porridge of Odana, for them, the returning does not ever join; he sits with Yama, goes to the gods, rejoices with the Gandharvas and the Soma-drinkers.
विष्टारिणमोदनं ये पचन्ति नैनान् यमः परि मुष्णाति रेतः । रथी ह भूत्वा रथयान ईयते पक्षी ह भूत्वाति दिवः समेति
Those who cook the spreading porridge of Odana, for them, Yama does not take away the seed; becoming a charioteer, he goes by chariot, becoming a bird, he reaches the sky.
एष यज्ञानां विततो वहिष्ठो विष्टारिणं पक्त्वा दिवमा विवेश । आण्डीकं कुमुदं सं तनोति बिसं शालूकं शफको मुलाली । एतास्त्वा धारा उप यन्तु सर्वाः स्वर्गे लोके मधुमत्पिन्वमाना उप त्वा तिष्ठन्तु पुष्करिणीः समन्ताः
This, the most excellent of sacrifices, is spread out; having cooked the spreading Odana, he has entered heaven. He extends the lotus, the water-lily, the stalk, the bulb, and the root; may all these streams come to you, swelling with honey in the heavenly world, may the lotus-ponds stand around you on every side.
घृतह्रदा मधुकूलाः सुरोदकाः क्षीरेण पूर्णा उदकेन दध्ना । एतास्त्वा धारा उप यन्तु सर्वाः स्वर्गे लोके मधुमत्पिन्वमाना उप त्वा तिष्ठन्तु पुष्करिणीः समन्ताः
Lakes of ghee, banks of honey, filled with good water, full of milk, water, and curds; may all these streams come to you, swelling with honey in the heavenly world, may the lotus-ponds stand around you on every side.
चतुरः कुम्भांश्चतुर्धा ददामि क्षीरेण पूर्नामुदकेन दध्ना । एतास्त्वा धारा उप यन्तु सर्वाः स्वर्गे लोके मधुमत्पिन्वमाना उप त्वा तिष्ठन्तु पुष्करिणीः समन्ताः
I offer four jars, divided fourfold, filled with milk, water, and curds; may all these streams come to you, swelling with honey in the heavenly world, may the lotus-ponds stand around you on every side.
इममोदनं नि दधे ब्राह्मणेषु विष्टारिणं लोकजितं स्वर्गम् । स मे मा क्षेष्ट स्वधया पिन्वमानो विश्वरूपा धेनुः कामदुघा मे अस्तु
This Odana I place among the Brahmins, the spreading one, conqueror of worlds, leading to heaven; may it not diminish for me, swelling with its own essence; may the wish-fulfilling cow of all forms be mine.
यमोदनं प्रथमजा ऋतस्य प्रजापतिस्तपसा ब्रह्मणेऽपचत्। यो लोकानां विधृतिर्नाभिरेषात्तेनौदनेनाति तराणि मृत्युम्
The Odana of Yama, first-born of truth, Prajapati cooked for Brahman through austerity; by that Odana, which is the support and navel of the worlds, one crosses over death.
येनातरन् भूतकृतोऽति मृत्युं यमन्वविन्दन् तपसा श्रमेण । यं पपाच ब्रह्मणे ब्रह्म पूर्वं तेनौदनेनाति तराणि मृत्युम्
By which the makers of beings crossed over death, which Yama discovered through austerity and effort; which Brahman first cooked for Brahman, by that Odana one crosses over death.

He who upheld the earth, the all-nourishing, who filled the midspace with sap, who propped up the sky above with greatness—by that Odana one crosses over death.
यस्मान् मासा निर्मितास्त्रिंशदराः संवत्सरो यस्मान् निर्मितो द्वादशारः । अहोरात्रा यं परियन्तो नापुस्तेनौदनेनाति तराणि मृत्युम्
From whom the months were fashioned, thirty-ribbed, from whom the year was fashioned, twelve-spoked; whom day and night encompass without end—by that Odana one crosses over death.
यः प्राणदः प्राणदवान् बभूव यस्मै लोका घृतवन्तः क्षरन्ति । ज्योतिष्मतीः प्रदिशो यस्य सर्वास्तेनौदनेनाति तराणि मृत्युम्
He who is the giver of breath, who became the breath-giver, for whom the worlds flow with ghee; whose are all the shining regions—by that Odana one crosses over death.
यस्मात्पक्वादमृतं संबभूव यो गायत्र्या अधिपतिर्बभूव । यस्मिन् वेदा निहिता विश्वरूपास्तेनौदनेनाति तराणि मृत्युम्
From whom the cooked nectar arose, who became the lord of the Gāyatrī, in whom the Vedas of all forms are established—by that Odana one crosses over death.
अव बाधे द्विषन्तं देवपीयुं सपत्ना ये मेऽप ते भवन्तु । ब्रह्मौदनं विश्वजितं पचामि शृण्वन्तु मे श्रद्दधानस्य देवाः
Drive away the one who hates, who is hostile to the gods, whoever are my rivals—let them be cast down. I cook the all-conquering sacrificial rice; let the gods who heed devotion listen to me.
तान्त्सत्यौजाः प्र दहत्वग्निर्वैश्वानरो वृषा । यो नो दुरस्याद्दिप्साच्चाथो यो नो अरातियात्
Let Agni Vaiśvānara, the mighty bull, burn up with true strength those who wish to harm us, who seek to injure or attack us.
यो नो दिप्साददिप्सतो दिप्सतो यश्च दिप्सति । वैश्वानरस्य दंष्ट्रयोरग्नेरपि दधामि तम्
Whoever seeks to harm us, whether intending or attempting harm, and whoever attacks—him I place between the jaws of Agni Vaiśvānara.
य आगरे मृगयन्ते प्रतिक्रोशेऽमावास्ये । क्रव्यादो अन्यान् दिप्सतः सर्वांस्तान्त्सहसा सहे
Those who hunt us in the house, who shout in opposition on the new moon, those flesh-eaters who attack others—I withstand all of them with force.
सहे पिशाचान्त्सहसैषां द्रविणं ददे । सर्वान् दुरस्यतो हन्मि सं म आकूतिर्ऋध्यताम्
I withstand the demons; I overpower them and grant wealth. I strike down all who wish to harm; may my intention be fulfilled.
ये देवास्तेन हासन्ते सूर्येण मिमते जवम् । नदीषु पर्वतेषु ये सं तैः पशुभिर्विदे
The gods who laugh at the thief, who measure speed with the sun, those in rivers and mountains—with all those beings I am allied.
