a To the purpose, to the impulse, to Agni, hail! To wisdom, to thought, to Agni, hail! To consecration, to penance, to Agni, hail! To Sarasvati, to Prisan, to Agni, hail! b O ye divine, vast, all-sootbing waters! Heaven and earth, wide atmosphere! May Brhaspati rejoice in our oblation, hail! c Let every man choose the companionship Of the god who leadeth. Every man prayeth for wealth; Let him choose glory that he may prosper, hail! d Ye are images of the Rc and the Saman. I grasp you two; do ye two [1] protect me until the completion of this sacrifice. e O god,Varuna, do thou sharpen this prayer of him who implores thee, Sharpen his strength, his insight; May we mount that safe ship Whereby we' may pass over all our difficulties. f Thou art the strength of the Angirases, soft as wool; grant me strength, guard me, harm me not. g Thou art the protection of Visnu, the protection of the sacrificer, grant me protection. h Guard me from the lustre of the Naksatras. i Thou art the birthplace of Indra [2]; harm me not. k For ploughing thee, for good crops, l For the plants with good berries thee! m Thou art of easy access, divine tree. Being erect, guard me until the completion (of the sacrifice). n Hail! with my mind the sacrifice (I grasp); hail! from heaven and earth, bail! from the broad atmosphere, hail! from the wind the sacrifice I grasp.
