इदं त एकम् पर ऊ त एकं तृतीयेन ज्योतिषा सं विशस्व । संवेशने तन्वश् चारुर् एधि प्रियो देवानाम् परमे जनित्रे ॥

Here is one light for thee, another yonder: enter the third and he therewith united. Uniting with a body be thou welcome, dear to the Gods in their sublimest birthplace.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तनूष् टे वाजिन् तन्वं नयन्ती वामम् अस्मभ्यं धातु शर्म तुभ्यम् । अह्रुतो महो धरुणाय देवान् दिवीव ज्योतिः स्वम् आ मिमीयाः ॥

Bearing thy body, Vajin, may thy body afford us blessing and thyself protection. Unswerving, stablish as it were in heaven thine own light as the mighty God's supporter.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

vājy asi vājinenā suvenīḥ suvita stomaṃ suvito divaṃ gāḥ | suvito dharma prathamānu satyā suvito devān suvito 'nu patma ||
Strong Steed art thou: go to the yearning Maidens with vigour, happily go to heaven and praises: Fly happily to the Gods with easy passage, according to the first and faithful statutes.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
महिम्न एषाम् पितरश् चनेशिरे देवा देवेष्व् अदधुर् अपि क्रतुम् । सम् अविव्यचुर् उत यान्य् अत्विषुर् ऐषां तनूषु नि विविशुः पुनः ॥

Part of their grandeur have the Fathers also gained: the Gods have seated mental power in them as Gods. They have embraced within themselves all energies, which, issuing forth, again into their bodies pass.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सहोभिर् विश्वम् परि चक्रमू रजः पूर्वा धामान्य् अमिता मिमानाः । तनूषु विश्वा भुवना नि येमिरे प्रासारयन्त पुरुध प्रजा अनु ॥
sahobhir viśvam pari cakramū rajaḥ pūrvā dhāmāny amitā mimānāḥ | tanūṣu viśvā bhuvanā ni yemire prāsārayanta purudha prajā anu ||
They strode through all the region with victorious might, establishing the old immeasurable laws. They compassed in their bodies all existing things, and streamed forth offspring in many successive forms.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
द्विधा सूनवो ऽसुरं स्वर्विदम् आस्थापयन्त तृतीयेन कर्मणा । स्वाम् प्रजाम् पितरः पित्र्यं सह आवरेष्व् अदधुस् तन्तुम् आततम् ॥
dvidhā sūnavo 'suraṃ svarvidam āsthāpayanta tṛtīyena karmaṇā | svām prajām pitaraḥ pitryaṃ saha āvareṣv adadhus tantum ātatam ||
In two ways have the sons established in his place the Asura who finds the light, by the third act, As fathers, they have set their heritage on earth, their offspring, as a thread continuously spun out.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
नावा न क्षोदः प्रदिशः पृथिव्याः स्वस्तिभिर् अति दुर्गाणि विश्वा । स्वाम् प्रजाम् बृहदुक्थो महित्वावरेष्व् अदधाद् आ परेषु ॥
nāvā na kṣodaḥ pradiśaḥ pṛthivyāḥ svastibhir ati durgāṇi viśvā | svām prajām bṛhaduktho mahitvāvareṣv adadhād ā pareṣu ||
As in a ship through billows, so through regions of air, with blessings, through toils and troubles Hath Brhaduktha brought his seed with glory, and placed it here and in the realms beyond us.
