I CALL with prayers on Aditi your Goddess, on Agni, Mitra, Varuna for favour, On Aryaman who gives unasked, the gracious, on Gods who save, on Savitar and Bhaga.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सुज्योतिषः सूर्य दक्षपितॄन् अनागास्त्वे सुमहो वीहि देवान् । द्विजन्मानो य ऋतसापः सत्याः स्वर्वन्तो यजता अग्निजिह्वाः ॥
sujyotiṣaḥ sūrya dakṣapitṝn anāgāstve sumaho vīhi devān | dvijanmāno ya ṛtasāpaḥ satyāḥ svarvanto yajatā agnijihvāḥ ||
Visit, to prove us free from sin, O Surya Lord of great might, the bright Gods sprung from Daksa, Twice-born and true, observing sacred duties, Holy and full of light, whose tongue is Agni.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उत द्यावापृथिवी क्षत्रम् उरु बृहद् रोदसी शरणं सुषुम्ने । महस् करथो वरिवो यथा नो ऽस्मे क्षयाय धिषणे अनेहः ॥

And, O ye Heaven and Earth, a wide dominion, O ye most blissful Worlds, our lofty shelter, Give ample room and freedom for our dwelling, a home, ye Hemispheres, which none may rival.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ नो रुद्रस्य सूनवो नमन्ताम् अद्या हूतासो वसवो ऽधृष्टाः । यद् ईम् अर्भे महति वा हितासो बाधे मरुतो अह्वाम देवान् ॥

This day invited may the Sons of Rudra, resistless, excellent, stoop down to meet us; For, when beset with slight or sore affliction, we ever call upon the Gods, the Maruts;
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
मिम्यक्ष येषु रोदसी नु देवी सिषक्ति पूषा अभ्यर्धयज्वा । श्रुत्वा हवम् मरुतो यद् ध याथ भूमा रेजन्ते अध्वनि प्रविक्ते ॥
mimyakṣa yeṣu rodasī nu devī siṣakti pūṣā abhyardhayajvā | śrutvā havam maruto yad dha yātha bhūmā rejante adhvani pravikte ||
To whom the Goddess Rodasi clings closely, whom Pusan follows bringing ample bounty. What time ye hear our call and come, O Maruts, upon your separate path all creatures tremble.
