Protect us by day O Ashvins, protect us by night, O you Sarasvati. O divine priests, O physicians, both of you guard Indra in accord when Soma is expressed.

The Ashvins and Sarasvati united together made Indra wax strong with oblations, who slew demon Vala with Namuchi of Asura birth.

Waxing him mighty with sacred oblations and burnt offerings, Sarasvati and the twain Ashvins sang Indra’s songs of praise.

The great protector Indra snatched away by force power, strength and wealth from Namuchi, and Savitar and Varuna bestowed boons of strength and wealth on the liberal sacrificer.

May both the Ashvins, fair of form, the doer of righteous deeds, knowledge-bestowing Sarasvati and the foe-slaying Indra, help us in our sacrifice.

O Agni, we pour sacred oblation into your month as soma into a receptacle and ghee into a ladle. Vouchsafe us riches, strength-winning, blessed with heroes, lofty wealth, full of glory lauded by men.

O twain Ashvins, wedded to truth, O Rudra, come to this house with kine and horses, the sure protectors of this sacrificer.

O longed-for Ashvins, lead us on the wealth full of shining gold and service.

May Sarasvati, pure and purifying, rich in food and wisdom, promote our sacrifice.

She, the inspirer of truthful speech, awakener of the best intellect, Sarasvati, protects our sacrifice.

Sarasvati, rich in knowledge, illuminates the vast ocean of learning and the pious thoughts.

O Indra, wonderously bright, come and enjoy these libations so enjoyable, prepared and purified by these fingers.

Well-urged by the holy singer, sped by the sage, come here, O Indra, to the hymns of oblation-offerings priest!
