Let me win glory, Agni, in our battles: enkindling thee, may we support our bodies. May the four regions bend and bow before me: with thee for guardian may we win in combat.
मम देवा विहवे सन्तु सर्व इन्द्रवन्तो मरुतो विष्णुर् अग्निः । ममान्तरिक्षम् उरुलोकम् अस्तु मह्यं वातः पवतां कामे अस्मिन् ॥
mama devā vihave santu sarva indravanto maruto viṣṇur agniḥ | mamāntarikṣam urulokam astu mahyaṃ vātaḥ pavatāṃ kāme asmin ||
May all the Gods be on my side in battle, the Maruts led by Indra, Visnu, Agni. Mine be the middle air's extended region, and may the wind blow favouring these my wishes.
May the Gods grant me riches; may the blessing and invocation of the Gods assist me. Foremost in fight be the divine Invokers: may we, unwounded, have brave heroes round us.
मह्यं यजन्तु मम यानि हव्याकूतिः सत्या मनसो मे अस्तु । एनो मा नि गां कतमच् चनाहं विश्वे देवासो अधि वोचता नः ॥
mahyaṃ yajantu mama yāni havyākūtiḥ satyā manaso me astu | eno mā ni gāṃ katamac canāhaṃ viśve devāso adhi vocatā naḥ ||
For me let them present all mine oblations, and let my mind's intention be accomplished. May I he guiltless of the least transgression: and, all ye Go-is, do ye combine to bless us.
Ye six divine Expanses, grant us freedom: here, all ye Gods, acquit yourselves like heroes. Let us not lose our children or our bodies: let us not benefit the foe, King Soma!
agne manyum pratinudan pareṣām adabdho gopāḥ pari pāhi nas tvam | pratyañco yantu nigutaḥ punas te 'maiṣāṃ cittam prabudhāṃ vi neśat ||
Baffling the wrath of our opponents, Agni, guard us as our infallible Protector. Let these thy foes turn back and seek their houses, and let their thought who watch at home be ruined.
Lord of the world, Creator of creators the saviour God who overcomes the foeman. May Gods, Brhaspati, both Asvins shelter from ill this sacrifice and sacrificer.
उरुव्यचा नो महिषः शर्म यंसद् अस्मिन् हवे पुरुहूतः पुरुक्षुः । स नः प्रजायै हर्यश्व मृळयेन्द्र मा नो रीरिषो मा परा दाः ॥
uruvyacā no mahiṣaḥ śarma yaṃsad asmin have puruhūtaḥ purukṣuḥ | sa naḥ prajāyai haryaśva mṛḷayendra mā no rīriṣo mā parā dāḥ ||
Foodful, and much-invoked, at this our calling may the great Bull vouchsafe us wide protection. Lord of Bay Coursers, Indra, blew our children: harm us not, give us riot as prey to others.
ये नः सपत्ना अप ते भवन्त्व् इन्द्राग्निभ्याम् अव बाधामहे तान् । वसवो रुद्रा आदित्या उपरिस्पृशम् मोग्रं चेत्तारम् अधिराजम् अक्रन् ॥
ye naḥ sapatnā apa te bhavantv indrāgnibhyām ava bādhāmahe tān | vasavo rudrā ādityā uparispṛśam mograṃ cettāram adhirājam akran ||
Let those who are our foemen stay. afar from us: with Indra and with Agni we will drive them off. Vasus, Adityas, Rudras have exalted me, made me far-reaching, mighty, thinker, sovran lord.
