Mitra guides the peoples by his speech; Mitra upholds the earth and the sky. Mitra watches over the clans with unblinking eyes; offer the clarified butter to Mitra as an offering.

Here, with your minds, O men, you have come together in kinship; the Usij-sages have approached with knowledge, by those very arts and forms with which, O Saudhanvanas, you have attained your worthy share of the sacrifice.
याभिः शचीभिश्चमसाँ अपिंशत यया धिया गामरिणीत चर्मणः । येन हरी मनसा निरतक्षत तेन देवत्वमृभवः समानश
By those powers and skills you pressed the cups, by that thought you drew the cow from the hide; with that mind you shaped the two horses—by that, O Ribhus, you became divine.

O Ribhus, you became companions of Indra, grandsons of Manu, you set the waters in motion; O Saudhanvanas, you attained immortality, skillful with the Shami trees, by your own good works.

With Indra you ride together in the chariot at the pressing of the Soma; and you become lords of wealth, shining in splendor; your deeds, O Saudhanvana Ribhus, and your heroic acts, none can match.
इन्द्र ऋभुभिर्वाजवद्भिः समुक्षितं सुतं सोममा वृषस्वा गभस्त्योः । धियेषितो मघवन्दाशुषो गृहे सौधन्वनेभिः सह मत्स्वा नृभिः
Indra, together with the Ribhus rich in strength, drink the pressed Soma, purified and strong, with your hands; inspired by thought, O Maghavan, rejoice in the house of the eager one, together with the Saudhanvanas.

Indra, together with the Ribhus, bestowers of strength, come here to this song of praise, to the worthy sacrifice; with a hundred banners, with gifts for the seeker, with a thousand aids at the offering of the ritual.

Dawn, facing us, you reveal all the worlds; you stand above as the sign of immortality; moving with a common purpose, like a wheel, grow anew each day.

At the foundation of truth, the Dawns are kindled; the mighty one has entered the vast heavens and earth; great is the magic of Mitra and Varuna, she has set her shining light everywhere, like the moon.
इमा उ वां भृमयो मन्यमाना युवावते न तुज्या अभूवन् । क्व त्यदिन्द्रावरुणा यशो वां येन स्मा सिनं भरथः सखिभ्यः
These praises of ours, considering you youthful, have become not to be rejected; where now, O Indra and Varuna, is your glory, by which you bring the enemy to your friends?

This one, most abundant and ever-renewing, calls upon you for help; together, O Indra and Varuna, with the Maruts, hear my invocation by day and by night.

May that wealth, O Indra and Varuna, be ours; may the Maruts grant us all-heroic riches; may the protecting goddesses guard us with their shelter, and may the priestly Bharati with the gifts support us.
