pra brahmaitu sadanād ṛtasya vi raśmibhiḥ sasṛje sūryo gāḥ | vi sānunā pṛthivī sasra urvī pṛthu pratīkam adhy edhe agniḥ ||
Let the prayer issue from the seat of Order, for Surya with his beams hath loosed the cattle. With lofty ridges earth is far extended, and Agni's flame hath lit the spacious surface.
O Asuras, O Varuna and Mitra, this hymn to you, like food, anew I offer. One of you is a strong unerring Leader, and Mitra, speaking, stirreth men to labour.
The movements of the gliding wind come hither: like cows, the springs are filled to overflowing. Born in the station e'en of lofty heaven the Bull hath loudly bellowed in this region.
गिरा य एता युनजद् धरी त इन्द्र प्रिया सुरथा शूर धायू । प्र यो मन्युं रिरिक्षतो मिनात्य् आ सुक्रतुम् अर्यमणं ववृत्याम् ॥
girā ya etā yunajad dharī ta indra priyā surathā śūra dhāyū | pra yo manyuṃ ririkṣato mināty ā sukratum aryamaṇaṃ vavṛtyām ||
May I bring hither with my song, O Indra, wise Aryaman who yokes thy dear Bay Horses, Voracious, with thy noble car, O Hero, him who defeats the wrath of the malicious.
yajante asya sakhyaṃ vayaś ca namasvinaḥ sva ṛtasya dhāman | vi pṛkṣo bābadhe nṛbhi stavāna idaṃ namo rudrāya preṣṭham ||
In their own place of sacrifice adorers worship to gain long life and win his friendship. He hath poured food on men when they have praised him; be this, the dearest reverence, paid to Rudra.
Coming together, glorious, loudly roaring - Sarasvati, Mother of Floods, the seventh- With copious milk, with fair streams, strongly flowing, full swelling with the volume of their water;
उत त्ये नो मरुतो मन्दसाना धियं तोकं च वाजिनो ऽवन्तु । मा नः परि ख्यद् अक्षरा चरन्त्य् अवीवृधन् युज्यं ते रयिं नः ॥
uta tye no maruto mandasānā dhiyaṃ tokaṃ ca vājino 'vantu | mā naḥ pari khyad akṣarā caranty avīvṛdhan yujyaṃ te rayiṃ naḥ ||
And may the mighty Maruts, too, rejoicing, aid our devotion and protect our offspring. Let not swift-moving Aksara neglect us: they have increased our own appropriate riches,
pra vo mahīm aramatiṃ kṛṇudhvam pra pūṣaṇaṃ vidathyaṃ na vīram | bhagaṃ dhiyo 'vitāraṃ no asyāḥ sātau vājaṃ rātiṣācam purandhim ||
Bring ye the great Aramati before you, and Pusan as the Hero of the synod, Bhaga who looks upon this hymn with favour, and, as our strength, the bountiful Purandbi.
May this our song of praise reach you, O Maruts, and Visnu guardian of the future infant. May they vouchsafe the singer strength for offspring. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
