Where hath the hymn with reverence, like an envoy, found both fair Gods to-day, invoked of many- Hymn that hath brought the two Nasatyas hither? To this man's thought be ye, both Gods, most friendly.

अरम् मे गन्तं हवनायास्मै गृणाना यथा पिबाथो अन्धः । परि ह त्यद् वर्तिर् याथो रिषो न यत् परो नान्तरस् तुतुर्यात् ॥
aram me gantaṃ havanāyāsmai gṛṇānā yathā pibātho andhaḥ | pari ha tyad vartir yātho riṣo na yat paro nāntaras tuturyāt ||
Come readily to this mine invocation, lauded with songs, that ye may drink the juices. Compass this house to keep it from the foeman, that none may force it, either near or distant.
