Those Rudras who are as many as these and more, spread in all directions; at a thousand leagues’ distance, may their bows be laid down.

Homage to the Rudras who are in heaven, whose arrows are rain; to them, ten in the east, ten in the south, ten in the west, ten in the north, ten above; to them be homage. May they protect us, may they show us mercy. Whomever we hate, and whoever hates us, we consign him into their jaws.

नमो ऽस्तु रुद्रेभ्यो ये पृथिव्यां येषाम् अन्नम् इषवः । तेभ्यो दश प्राचीर् दश दक्षिणा दश प्रतीचीर् दशोदीचीर् दशोर्ध्वाः । तेभ्यो नमो ऽ अस्तु ते नो ऽवन्तु ते नो मृडयन्तु ते यं द्विष्मो यश् च नो द्वेष्टि तम् एषां जम्भे दध्मः
Salutations to the Rudras who are on earth, whose arrows are food. To them, ten in the east, ten in the south, ten in the west, ten in the north, ten above. Salutations to them; may they protect us, may they show us mercy. Whomever we hate, and whoever hates us, into their jaws we place him.
अश्मन्न् ऊर्जं पर्वते शिश्रियाणाम् ऽ अद्भ्य ओषधीभ्यो वनस्पतिभ्यो ऽधि सम्भृतं पयः । तां न ऽ इषमूर्जं धत्त मरुतः सꣳरराणाः । ऽ अश्मꣳस् ते क्षुत् । मयि त ऊर्क् । यं द्विष्मस् तं ते शुग् ऋच्छतु
The strength and nourishment that rests on the stone, on the mountain, gathered from waters, plants, and trees—may the Maruts, striving together, grant us that strength and nourishment. The stone is your hunger. May that strength be in me. Whomever we hate, may your thunderbolt reach him.

May these bricks of mine, O Agni, be cows—one, ten, ten hundred, ten thousand, ten ten-thousand, ten hundred-thousand, ten million, ten hundred-million, ten billion, ten hundred-billion, ten trillion, ten ocean, the middle, the end, the highest. May these bricks of mine, O Agni, be cows in that world and in this world.
ऋतव स्थ ऽ ऋतावृध ऽ ऋतुष्ठा स्थ ऽ ऋतावृधः । घृतश्च्युतो मधुश्च्युतो विराजो नाम कामदुघा ऽ अक्षीयमाणाः
You are of the seasons, you are strengthened by the seasons, you stand in the seasons, you are strengthened by the seasons. Flowing with ghee, flowing with honey, named radiant, wish-fulfilling, inexhaustible.

By the pure, discerning, and compassionate one, the earth was illuminated, like the dawn by its rays; like a swift horse, like the movement of the wind, like one who thirsts for praise, ageless.
नमस् ते हरसे शोचिषे नमस् ते ऽ अस्त्व् अर्चिषे । अन्याꣳस् ते अस्मत् तपन्तु हेतयः पावको ऽ अस्मभ्यꣳ शिवो भव

Those gods among the gods, worthy of sacrifice among the worthy, who sit by the portion of the year—may they, uninvited, drink the honey and ghee themselves in this sacrifice.
ये देवा देवेष्व् अधि देवत्वम् आयन् ये ब्रह्मणः पुरएतारो ऽ अस्य । येभ्यो न ऽ ऋते पवते धाम किं चन न ते दिवो न पृथिव्या ऽ अधि स्नुषु

The sage, the priest, who offered all these worlds, sat down as our father; desiring wealth with blessing, he entered the lower realms first.
किꣳ स्विद् आसीद् अधिष्ठानम् आरम्भणं कतमत् स्वित् कथासीत् । यतो भूमिं जनयन् विश्वकर्मा वि द्याम् और्णोन् महिना विश्वचक्षाः
What was the foundation, what the beginning, what indeed was the story? From where did Viśvakarman, the all-seeing, create the earth and stretch out the sky with his greatness?
विश्वतश्चक्षुर् उत विश्वतोमुखो विश्वतोबाहुर् उत विश्वतस्पात् । सं बाहुभ्यां धमति सं पतत्रैर् द्यावाभूमी जनयन् देव ऽ एकः
With eyes everywhere, with face everywhere, with arms everywhere, with feet everywhere, he blows with his arms, with his wings; the one god, creating heaven and earth.
किꣳ स्विद् वनं क ऽ उ स वृक्ष ऽ आस यतो द्यावापृथिवी निष्टतक्षुः । मनीषिणो मनसा पृच्छतेद् उ तद् यद् अध्यतिष्ठद् भुवनानि धारयन्
What was the forest, and what was the tree from which heaven and earth were fashioned? The wise inquire with their minds about that which upheld the worlds, bearing them.
या ते धामानि परमाणि यावमा या मध्यमा विश्वकर्मन्न् उतेमा । शिक्षा सखिभ्यो हविषि स्वधावः स्वयं यजस्व तन्वं वृधानः
Those highest abodes of yours, those intermediate, and these here, O Viśvakarman, teach them to your companions, O self-sustaining one; offer yourself, growing in strength.
विश्वकर्मन् हविषा वावृधानः स्वयं यजस्व पृथिवीम् उत द्याम् । मुह्यन्त्व् अन्ये ऽ अभितो सपत्ना ऽ इहास्माकं मघवा सूरिर् अस्तु
Viśvakarman, growing through offering, offer yourself to earth and to heaven; let other rivals be confused nearby—here, let Maghavan be our wise benefactor.
वाचस् पतिं विश्वकर्माणमूतये मनोजुवं वाजे ऽ अद्या हुवेम । स नो विश्वानि हवनानि जोषद् विश्वशम्भूर् अवसे साधुकर्मा
Let us today invoke Viśvakarman, lord of speech, swift in mind, for strength; may he delight in all our offerings, the all-beneficent, the doer of good, for our aid.
विश्वकर्मन् हविषा वर्धनेन त्रातारम् इन्द्रम् अकृणोर् अवध्यम् । तस्मै विशः समनमन्त पूर्वीर् अयम् उग्रो विहव्यो यथासत्
Viśvakarman, through the increase of offering, made Indra the protector, invincible; to him the peoples bow together from ancient times—this mighty one is to be invoked as is fitting.
चक्षुषः पिता मनसा हि धीरो घृतम् एने अजनन् नम्नमाने । यदेद् अन्ता ऽ अददृहन्त पूर्व ऽ आद् इद् द्यावापृथिवी ऽ अप्रथेताम्
The wise father of vision, with mind, created clarified butter in the names; when the ends were firmly fixed, then heaven and earth expanded.
विश्वकर्मा विमना ऽ आद् विहाया धाता विधाता परमोत संदृक् । तेषाम् इष्टानि सम् इषा मदन्ति यत्रा सप्तऋषीन् पर ऽ एकम् आहुः
Viśvakarman, with his mind, departed from here; the creator, the arranger, the highest, the seer; their desired offerings are enjoyed together, where the seven sages speak of the one beyond.
