O Sun, may we behold you with clear vision; may we, with human sight, see widely.
उदसौ सूर्यो अगादुदयं मामको भगः । अहं तद्विद्वला पतिमभ्यसाक्षि विषासहिः
The sun has risen, my fortune has arisen; I, wise, have approached my lord, victorious over rivals.
अहं केतुरहं मूर्धाहमुग्रा विवाचनी । ममेदनु क्रतुं पतिः सेहानाया उपाचरेत्
I am the sign, I am the crown, I am the mighty, the one who speaks; my husband follows my will, attending to the steadfast woman.

By that offering with which Indra became most glorious and powerful, O gods, may this be done, so that I may be without rivals.
असपत्ना सपत्नघ्नी जयन्त्यभिभूवरी । आवृक्षमन्यासां वर्चो राधो अस्थेयसामिव
Without rivals, victorious over rivals, triumphant and overpowering, may I cover the brilliance and wealth of others, as if of those who are not steadfast.
समजैषमिमा अहं सपत्नीरभिभूवरी । यथाहमस्य वीरस्य विराजानि जनस्य च
I have overcome these rival women, triumphant and overpowering, so that I may shine forth among this man’s people and in his household.
तीव्रस्याभिवयसो अस्य पाहि सर्वरथा वि हरी इह मुञ्च । इन्द्र मा त्वा यजमानासो अन्ये नि रीरमन्तुभ्यमिमे सुतासः
Protect him from this intense attack, release him here from all sides, O Indra; let not other worshippers detain you, let these pressed offerings be for you.

For you are the pressed offerings, for you the libations; the hymns call you with their voice; Indra, delighting in this pressing, knowing all, drink the Soma here.
य उशता मनसा सोममस्मै सर्वहृदा देवकामः सुनोति । न गा इन्द्रस्तस्य परा ददाति प्रशस्तमिच्चारुमस्मै कृणोति
He who, with eager mind and all his heart, presses Soma for you, desiring the gods—Indra does not take away his cattle, but grants him praise and beauty.
अनुस्पष्टो भवत्येषो अस्य यो अस्मै रेवान्न सुनोति सोमम् । निररत्नौ मघवा तं दधाति ब्रह्मद्विषो हन्त्यनानुदिष्टः
This one becomes renowned who presses Soma for him with abundance; Maghavan deprives of wealth the one who does not offer, and destroys the haters of prayer.

I release you with an offering for life, from known and royal disease; if the seizure has seized him, by this, O Indra and Agni, release him from it.
यदि क्षितायुर्यदि वा परेतो यदि मृत्योरन्तिकं नीत एव । तमा हरामि निरृतेरुपस्थादस्पार्षमेनं शतशारदाय
Whether his life is spent or he has departed, or has been brought near to the realm of death, I draw him away from the lap of destruction; let him not touch it, let him live a hundred autumns.
सहस्राक्षेण शतशारदेन शतायुषा हविषाहार्षमेनम् । शतं यथेमं शरदो नयातीन्द्रो विश्वस्य दुरितस्य पारम्
With a thousand-eyed, hundred-autumned, hundred-lived offering, I have taken him; may Indra lead him through a hundred autumns, beyond all misfortune.
शतं जीव शरदो वर्धमानः शतं हेमन्ताञ्छतमु वसन्तान् । शतमिन्द्राग्नी सविता बृहस्पतिः शतायुषा हविषेमं पुनर्दुः
Live a hundred autumns, growing, a hundred winters, a hundred springs; may Indra, Agni, Savitar, and Brihaspati restore him with a hundred years of life.
आहार्षं त्वाविदं त्वा पुनरागाः पुनर्नव । सर्वाङ्ग सर्वं ते चक्षुः सर्वमायुश्च तेऽविदम्
I have taken you, I have recognized you; you have returned, renewed. All your limbs, all your sight, and all your life I have recognized.
