He, our son, powerful, far-reaching, most gracious, may he be generous to us.
स नो दूराच्चासाच्च नि मर्त्यादघायोः । पाहि सदमिद्विश्वायुः
From both far and near, from mortal harm and evil, protect us always, O universal guardian.
इममू षु त्वमस्माकं सनिं गायत्रं नव्यांसम् । अग्ने देवेषु प्र वोचः
This new song of ours, O Agni, declare among the gods as our support.
आ नो भज परमेष्वा वाजेषु मध्यमेषु । शिक्षा वस्वो अन्तमस्य
Distribute to us in the highest, in the middle, and in the lowest prizes; teach us the wealth of the innermost.
विभक्तासि चित्रभानो सिन्धोरूर्मा उपाक आ । सद्यो दाशुषे क्षरसि
You are the divider, O radiant one, of the waves of the river, coming near; you flow swiftly for the worshipper.
यमग्ने पृत्सु मर्त्यमवा वाजेषु यं जुनाः । स यन्ता शश्वतीरिषः

May he, lord of wealth like a river, divine sign, hear us; Agni, of vast brilliance, with our hymns.
नमो महद्भ्यो नमो अर्भकेभ्यो नमो युवभ्यो नम आशिनेभ्यः । यजाम देवान्यदि शक्नवाम मा ज्यायसः शंसमा वृक्षि देवाः
Homage to the great, homage to the small, homage to the young, homage to the old; we worship the gods if we are able. O gods, do not take away the praise of those greater.

Whenever you, O mortar, are harnessed in each house, speak here with the brightest sound, like a victorious drum.

As those who strive for victory, pour out the Soma for Indra, the mighty, the hundred-powered, the most exalted.
