काव्ययोर् आजानेषु क्रत्वा दक्षस्य दुरोणे । रिशादसा सधस्थ ऽ आ
Among the offspring of poets, in the house of skill and wisdom, the devourers are seated in the abode.
दैव्याव् अध्वर्यू आ गतꣳ रथेन सूर्यत्वचा । मध्वा यज्ञꣳ सम् अञ्जाथे । [ + तं प्रत्नथा । अयं वेनः ॥]
Come, divine priests, with the chariot shining like the sun; anoint the sacrifice with honey; [and renew it; this is Vena.]
तिरश्चीनो विततो रश्मिर् एषाम् अधः स्विद् आसी३द् उपरि स्विद् आसी३त् । रेतोधा ऽ आसन् महिमान ऽ आसन्त् स्वधा ऽ अवस्तात् प्रयतिः परस्तात्
Their ray stretches across, slanting; below it was, above it was; they were seed-bearers, they were mighty; inherent power was below, aspiration was above.
आ रोदसी ऽ अपृणद् आ स्वर् महज् जातं यद् एनम् अपसो ऽ अधारयन् । सो ऽ अध्वराय परि णीयते कविर् अत्यो न वाजसातये चनोहितः
He filled the two worlds, he reached the heaven; when he was born, the waters sustained him; he is led around the sacrifice, the sage, like a horse harnessed for the prize.
उक्थेभिर् वृत्रहन्तमा या मन्दाना चिद् आ गिरा । आङ्गूषैर् आविवासतः
With hymns, the slayer of Vṛtra is praised, even by those who are slow with speech; with gestures, they call him forth.
उप नः सूनवो गिरः शृण्वन्त्व् अमृतस्य ये । सुमृडीका भवन्तु नः
Let the sons of immortality hear our songs; may they be gracious to us.
ब्रह्माणि मे मतयः शꣳ सुतासः शुष्म ऽ इयर्ति प्रभृतो मे ऽ अद्रिः । आ शासते प्रति हर्यन्त्य् उक्थेमा हरी वहतस् ता नो ऽ अच्छ
My prayers, my thoughts, my pressed Soma, my vigor rises; my stone pours forth; they are summoned, they are stirred by hymns; let the two steeds bring them to us.
अनुत्तमा ते मघवन् नकिर् नु न त्वावाꣳ२ऽ अस्ति देवता विदानः । न जायमानो नशते न जातो यानि करिष्या कृणुहि प्रवृद्ध
O Maghavan, none surpasses you; no deity is known to be your equal; neither the newborn nor the born perishes; whatever you will do, accomplish it, O greatly grown.
तद् इद् आस भुवनेषु ज्येष्ठं यतो जज्ञ ऽ उग्रस् त्वेषनृम्णः । सद्यो जज्ञानो नि रिणाति शत्रून् अनु यं विश्वे मदन्त्य् ऊमाः
That was the greatest among beings, from whom was born the fierce, splendid, heroic one. Newly born, he immediately drives away enemies; all powers delight in him.
इमा ऽ उ त्वा पुरूवसो गिरो वर्धन्तु या मम । पावकवर्णाः शुचयो विपश्चितो ऽभि स्तोमैर् अनूषत
O Purūvasa, may these songs of mine increase you—those which are mine, radiant in color, pure, wise; they have approached you with praises.
यस्यायं विश्व ऽ आर्यो दासः शेवधिपा ऽ अरिः । तिरश् चिद् अर्ये रुशमे परीरवि तुभ्येत् सो ऽ अज्यते रयिः
For whom this Aryan, this Dāsa, this benevolent lord, this enemy—though hostile—has cried out in anger; to you, wealth is offered.
अयꣳ सहस्रम् ऋषिभिः सहस्कृतः समुद्र ऽ इव पप्रथे । सत्यः सो ऽ अस्य महिमा गृणे शवो यज्ञेषु विप्रराज्ये
He, with a thousand sages, empowered by their strength, spreads like the ocean. True is his greatness; I praise his might in sacrifices and among the wise.
अदब्धेभिः सवितः पायुभिष् ट्वꣳ शिवेभिर् अद्य परि पाहि नो गयम् । हिरण्यजिह्वः सुविताय नव्यसे रक्षा माकिर् नो ऽ अघशꣳस ऽ ईशत
O Savitar, protect our dwelling today with undeceivable guardians, with auspicious ones. Golden-tongued, for new prosperity, guard us; let no evil-wisher rule over us.
आ नो यज्ञं दिविस्पृशं वायो याहि सुमन्मभिः । अन्तः पवित्र ऽ उपरि श्रीणानो ऽयꣳ शुक्रो ऽ अयामि ते
O Vāyu, come to our sacrifice that touches the sky, with good thoughts. Purified within, adorned above, I, shining, approach you.
इन्द्रवायू सुसंदृशा सुहवेह हवामहे । यथा नः सर्व ऽ इज् जनो ऽनमीवः संगमे सुमना ऽ असत्
Indra and Vāyu, of beautiful form, we call here with good invocation. May all people be free from harm, may we meet together with good minds.
ऋधग् इत्था स मर्त्यः शशमे देवतातये । यो नूनं मित्रावरुणाव् अभिष्टय ऽ आचक्रे हव्यदातये
Thus, the mortal has rejoiced in divine worship, who now has sought Mitra and Varuṇa for the offering, for the giving of oblations.
आ यातम् उप भूषतं मध्वः पिबतम् अश्विना । दुग्धं पयो वृषणा जेन्यावसू मा नो मर्धिष्टम् आ गतम्
Come, adorn yourselves, drink the honey, O Aśvins. The milk has been drawn, O mighty, noble givers; do not harm us, but come.
प्रैतु ब्रह्मणस् पतिः प्र देव्य् एतु सूनृता । अच्छा वीरं नर्यं पङ्क्तिराधसं देवा यज्ञं नयन्तु नः
Let the Lord of Speech advance, let the goddess Truth come forward. Let the gods lead our sacrifice to the heroic, noble one, the provider of abundance.
चन्द्रमा ऽ अप्स्व् अन्तर् आ सुपर्णो धावते दिवि । रयिं पिशंगं बहुलं पुरुस्पृहꣳ हरिर् एति कनिक्रदत्
The Moon moves among the waters, the swift-winged one runs in the sky. The tawny, abundant, many-nourishing wealth comes, the roaring one approaches.
देवं-देवं वो ऽवसे देवं-देवम् अभिष्टये । देवं-देवꣳ हुवेम वाजसातये गृणन्तो देव्या धिया
To each god for help, to each god for favor, to each god we call for the gaining of strength, praising with divine thought.
दिवि पृष्टो ऽ अरोचताग्निर् वैश्वानरो बृहन् । क्ष्मया वृधान ऽ ओजसा चनोहितो ज्योतिषा बाधते तमः
Agni, Vaiśvānara, has shone forth in the sky, vast. Growing strong on earth with power, kindled, he dispels darkness with his light.
इन्द्राग्नी ऽ अपाद् इयं पूर्वागात् पद्वतीभ्यः । हित्वी शिरो जिह्वया वावदच् चरत् त्रिꣳशत् पदा न्य् अक्रमीत्
Indra and Agni, this one came without feet, from the lotus-stalks. Having left its head, it spoke with its tongue, moved, and stepped thirty steps.
देवासो हि ष्मा मनवे समन्यवो विश्वे साकꣳ सरातयः । ते नो ऽ अद्य ते अपरं तुचे तु नो भवन्तु वरिवोविदः
The gods, united in purpose for Manu, all together, with one intent. May they today, may they tomorrow, be for us, may they be knowers of the path for us.
अपाधमद् अभिशस्तीर् अशस्तिहाथेन्द्रो द्युम्न्य् आभवत् । देवास् त ऽ इन्द्र सख्याय येमिरे बृहद्भानो मरुद्गण
He has removed the curses, Indra, destroyer of evil, has become glorious. The gods, O Indra, have chosen you for friendship, O radiant one, O host of Maruts.
प्र व ऽ इन्द्राय बृहते मरुतो ब्रह्मार्चत । वृत्रꣳ हनति वृत्रहा शतक्रतुर् वज्रेण शतपर्वणा
For mighty Indra, let the Maruts praise with hymns. The slayer of Vṛtra, the hundred-powered, strikes with the thunderbolt of a hundred joints.
अस्येद् इन्द्रो वावृधे वृष्ण्यꣳ शवो मदे सुतस्य विष्णवि । अद्या तम् अस्य महिमानम् आयवो ऽनु ष्टुवन्ति पूर्वथा । [इमा ऽ उ त्वा । यस्यायम् । अयꣳ सहस्रम् । ऊर्ध्व ऽ ऊ षु णः ॥] (अ.वे. )
Indra's strength has grown, his bull-like power, in the delight of the pressed Soma. Today, his greatness, the sons praise as before.
यज् जाग्रतो दूरम् उदैति दैवं तद् उ सुप्तस्य तथैवैति । दूरंगमं ज्योतिषां ज्योतिर् एकं तन् मे मनः शिवसंकल्पम् अस्तु
That which rises far, even while awake, as divine; and likewise, it goes forth when asleep. The light of lights, traversing distances, may my mind be endowed with auspicious resolve.

By which the wise, thoughtful ones perform actions and sacrifices, and the steadfast in assemblies; that unprecedented, mysterious presence within beings—may my mind be endowed with auspicious resolve.
यत् प्रज्ञानम् उत चेतो धृतिश् च यज् ज्योतिर् अन्तर् अमृतं प्रजासु । यस्मान् न ऽ ऋते किं चन कर्म क्रियते तन् मे मनः शिवसंकल्पम् अस्तु
That which is discernment, consciousness, and fortitude; that light, immortal within creatures; without which nothing is done—may my mind be endowed with auspicious resolve.
येनेदं भूतं भुवनं भविष्यत् परिगृहीतम् अमृतेन सर्वम् । येन यज्ञस् तायते सप्तहोता तन् मे मनः शिवसंकल्पम् अस्तु
By which this existent, the world, and what will be, is all embraced by immortality; by which the seven priests sustain the sacrifice—may my mind be endowed with auspicious resolve.
