याद्राध्यं वरुणो योनिमप्यमनिशितं निमिषि जर्भुराणः । विश्वो मार्ताण्डो व्रजमा पशुर्गात्स्थशो जन्मानि सविता व्याकः
Whatever seat Varuṇa has established, whatever unrestrained, trembling, or blinking, all the offspring of the Sun, all cattle, Savitar has unfolded their births in order.
न यस्येन्द्रो वरुणो न मित्रो व्रतमर्यमा न मिनन्ति रुद्रः । नारातयस्तमिदं स्वस्ति हुवे देवं सवितारं नमोभिः
Whose ordinance neither Indra, nor Varuṇa, nor Mitra, nor Aryaman, nor Rudra, nor adversaries diminish—him, this god Savitar, I invoke with reverence for our welfare.
भगं धियं वाजयन्तः पुरंधिं नराशंसो ग्नास्पतिर्नो अव्याः । आये वामस्य संगथे रयीणां प्रिया देवस्य सवितुः स्याम
May Bhaga, thought, strength, liberality, Naraśaṃsa, and the lord of women protect us; may we be dear to the god Savitar in the assembly, in the gathering of riches.
अस्मभ्यं तद्दिवो अद्भ्यः पृथिव्यास्त्वया दत्तं काम्यं राध आ गात् । शं यत्स्तोतृभ्य आपये भवात्युरुशंसाय सवितर्जरित्रे
May that desirable gift, given by you from heaven, from the waters, from the earth, come to us; may what is auspicious for the praiser, for protection, come from Savitar, for wide renown.
ग्रावाणेव तदिदर्थं जरेथे गृध्रेव वृक्षं निधिमन्तमच्छ । ब्रह्माणेव विदथ उक्थशासा दूतेव हव्या जन्या पुरुत्रा
Like stones for pressing, you are stirred for this purpose; like a vulture toward a tree rich in treasure; like a priest at the rite, reciting hymns; like a messenger, you carry the offerings of men in many places.
प्रातर्यावाणा रथ्येव वीराजेव यमा वरमा सचेथे । मेने इव तन्वा शुम्भमाने दम्पतीव क्रतुविदा जनेषु
Like heroes on a chariot, you come at dawn; like a groom choosing a bride, you unite; like one delighting in his own body, shining; like a couple wise in counsel among people.
शृङ्गेव नः प्रथमा गन्तमर्वाक्छफाविव जर्भुराणा तरोभिः । चक्रवाकेव प्रति वस्तोरुस्रार्वाञ्चा यातं रथ्येव शक्रा
Like a horn, come to us first from near; like the jaws of a restless beast, with your teeth; like the chakravāka bird at the approach of dawn, come forward like mighty ones on a chariot.
नावेव नः पारयतं युगेव नभ्येव न उपधीव प्रधीव । श्वानेव नो अरिषण्या तनूनां खृगलेव विस्रसः पातमस्मान्
Like a boat, carry us across; like a yoke, like a nave, like a support, like a prop; like a dog, protect our bodies from harm; like a hedgehog, guard us from slipping.
वातेवाजुर्या नद्येव रीतिरक्षी इव चक्षुषा यातमर्वाक् । हस्ताविव तन्वे शम्भविष्ठा पादेव नो नयतं वस्यो अच्छ
Like the wind, swift; like a river, flowing; like eyes, come near with your sight; like hands, be most beneficent to our body; like feet, lead us to wealth.
ओष्ठाविव मध्वास्ने वदन्ता स्तनाविव पिप्यतं जीवसे नः । नासेव नस्तन्वो रक्षितारा कर्णाविव सुश्रुता भूतमस्मे
Like lips, speaking sweetly with honey; like breasts, nourish us for life; like nostrils, be our protectors; like ears, be well-hearing for us.
हस्तेव शक्तिमभि संददी नः क्षामेव नः समजतं रजांसि । इमा गिरो अश्विना युष्मयन्तीः क्ष्णोत्रेणेव स्वधितिं सं शिशीतम्
Like an elephant, grant us strength; like earth, unite the realms for us; these songs, O Aśvins, inspired by you, sharpen like a whetstone the axe.
एतानि वामश्विना वर्धनानि ब्रह्म स्तोमं गृत्समदासो अक्रन् । तानि नरा जुजुषाणोप यातं बृहद्वदेम विदथे सुवीराः
These, O Aśvins, are your increasing deeds; the Gṛtsamadas have made the hymn and praise; come, O men, delighting in them, let us speak forth greatly in the assembly, strong in men.
सोमापूषणा जनना रयीणां जनना दिवो जनना पृथिव्याः । जातौ विश्वस्य भुवनस्य गोपौ देवा अकृण्वन्नमृतस्य नाभिम्
Soma and Pūṣan are the originators of wealth, the originators of heaven, the originators of earth; born as guardians of all the worlds, the gods made them the navel of immortality.
इमौ देवौ जायमानौ जुषन्तेमौ तमांसि गूहतामजुष्टा । आभ्यामिन्द्रः पक्वमामास्वन्तः सोमापूषभ्यां जनदुस्रियासु
These two gods, being born, delight; these two, unwelcomed, conceal the darkness. With Soma and Pūṣan, Indra brings forth the ripe ones among the cows.
सोमापूषणा रजसो विमानं सप्तचक्रं रथमविश्वमिन्वम् । विषूवृतं मनसा युज्यमानं तं जिन्वथो वृषणा पञ्चरश्मिम्
Soma and Pūṣan drive the seven-wheeled chariot, the vehicle of all realms, traversing the spaces, yoked by mind; you invigorate it, O mighty ones, with five rays.

One made his dwelling in the sky, high above; the other on earth, and another in the midspace. May you grant us abundant, manifold wealth and nourishment, and establish the navel for us.
विश्वान्यन्यो भुवना जजान विश्वमन्यो अभिचक्षाण एति । सोमापूषणाववतं धियं मे युवाभ्यां विश्वाः पृतना जयेम
One generated all the worlds; the other moves, beholding all. Soma and Pūṣan, support my insight; with you two, may we conquer all battles.

Let Pūṣan invigorate my insight, the source of all riches; let Soma, lord of wealth, bestow prosperity. May goddess Aditi protect us, unharmed; may we speak greatly in the assembly, as heroes.
वायो ये ते सहस्रिणो रथासस्तेभिरा गहि । नियुत्वान्सोमपीतये
O Vāyu, those thousand-horsed chariots of yours—come with them, accompanied by your attendants, to drink the Soma.

गोमदू षु नासत्याश्वावद्यातमश्विना । वर्ती रुद्रा नृपाय्यम्
May the two Nāsatyas, Ashvins, bring us wealth with cows and horses; may the Rudras grant us noble paths.
न यत्परो नान्तर आदधर्षद्वृषण्वसू । दुःशंसो मर्त्यो रिपुः
No one, neither distant nor near, can overpower the mighty, generous ones; neither the evil-minded mortal nor the enemy.
ता न आ वोळ्हमश्विना रयिं पिशङ्गसंदृशम् । धिष्ण्या वरिवोविदम्
May you, Ashvins, bring us wealth, radiant and beautiful; O lords of the chariot, grant us wide space.
इन्द्रो अङ्ग महद्भयमभी षदप चुच्यवत् । स हि स्थिरो विचर्षणिः
Indra, indeed, has removed great fear; he has driven it away. For he is firm and wise among men.
इन्द्रश्च मृळयाति नो न नः पश्चादघं नशत् । भद्रं भवाति नः पुरः
