तेषां हि मह्ना महताम् अनर्वणां स्तोमां इयर्म्य् ऋतज्ञा ऋतावृधाम् । ये अप्सवम् अर्णवं चित्रराधसस् ते नो रासन्ताम् महये सुमित्र्याः ॥

Skilled in the Law I lift the hymn of praise to these, Law-strengtheners, unassailed, and great in majesty. These in their wondrous bounty send the watery sea: may they as kindly Friends send gifts to make us great.

The Gods whose tongue is Agni dwell in heaven, and sit, aiders of Law, reflecting, in the seat of Law. They propped up heaven and then brought waters with their might, got sacrifice and in a body made it fair.
