We offer you for the Vasus, for the Rudras, for the Adityas. May Heaven and Earth bring you to light. May Mitra and Varuna nourish you with rain. May the birds fly licking what is drenched. Go with the speed of the spotted mares of the Maruts. Go to heaven, having become a spotted cow thyself, and from there bring the rain for us. O Agni, you are the guardian of eye, guard my eye!

Protect the two yoke-fellows, you rich in fatness. You are in grace and conduct me unto grace. Glory to you yajna and increase. Be auspicious to me, steadfast for my weal!

O all-devouring, unfeebled Agni, protect me against weapons, protect from the lightning, protect me from snare and ruin, from harmful food, render our food free from poison. Let me abide happily in my house praying to you and performing noble deeds. Svaha! This is our prayer to god of close embracements Agni, and to Sarasvati, the sister of Fame!

O Veda, you are the knower of all. May you become knowledge-giving Veda for me just as you have become for gods their Veda. O path-showing Gods, knowing the pathway of truth, walk on it. O God, lord of mind, this sacrifice if for you, fix it rightfully like a world in the air!

May Indra with the Adityas, the Vasus, the Maruts and the Vishvadevas bless the sacred grass with ghee. Svaha! May all these oblations reach the heaven.

Who liberates you from the bonds! He, the sustainer of subjects, liberates you. Why does he liberate you? He does it for him, for happiness of all. This is the allotted portion of the fiends.

We are united with glory, vigour, bodies, we are united with the best mind. May Tvashtar, the bounteous giver, grant us riches of may kinds. May be purge each and every fault and blemish from our body.

O God, you are self-existent, self-effulgent and most exalted! You are bestower of splendour. Grant me splendour! I follow the path that Surya treads.
