O courser, intelligent, immortal, truth-knowing, make us rich in wealth and food. Drink this sweet juice and be satisfied and then follow the path walked by the gods.

May food in abundance come to me. May both Heaven and Earth approach me, the from of the universe. Let father and mother come to me, may Soma with immortality approach me. You heroes, winners of the battle, purified in heart, obey the behest of your commander.

May our life increase through sacrifice, may our life-breath thrive through sacrifice, may your eyes be strengthened through sacrifice, may our ears grow strong through sacrifice. May our back be strengthened through yajna. May sacrifice increase through sacrifice. May we ever live as subjects of the Prajapati. May we be victorious, divine, virtuous and lead a happy and long life.

O mother Earth, may we possess your might and manly strength, may we have all your splendour and working strength. Salutations to the mother Earth, homage be to her. This is your sovereignty. You are controller, you are firm and unshaken. I accept you for agriculture, for our welfare, for the good of the world, for increase of wealth in the nation, for peace and calm, and for nourishment of the subjects.

Let us worship Soma, the king, Agni, the twelve Adityas, Vishnu, Surya the creator of all, Brahma, Brihaspati and above all the Prajapti, who has generated all these gods for our protection. Svaha!

Urge the mighty gods Aryaman, Brihaspati, Indra, Sarasvati, the goddess of speech, Vishnu and Vak to grant us riches. Svaha!

O Agni, be auspicious to us and teach us good things in this sacrifice! O winner of thousands, you being the giver of wealth, give us wealth. Here is our oblation.

May Aryaman grant us wealth, god Pushan and Brihaspati. Let goddess of speech Saraswati grant us our desires. Here is the oblation.

With penta-syllabic metre Pushan won the five directions, may I also win them. God Savitar won the six seasons with six-syllabic metre, may I also win them. With hepta-syllabic metre the Maruts won the seven domestic animals, may I also win them. With octo-syllabic metre Brihaspati won the Gayatri, may I also win that!

With nine-syllabic metre Mitra won Trivrit Stoma, may I also win that. With deca-syllabic metre Varuna won proud god Viraj, may I also win him. Indra won Trishtup with hendeca-syllabic metre, may I also win that. And all the gods won Jagati with dodeca-syllabic metre, may I also win that.

O Agni, overthrow the opposing forces and cleave into pieces the enemy. O invincible god, driving away the foemen, grant riches to this sacrificer.

By Savitar’s impulsion, with Ashvins arms and hand of Pushan, with the strength of the nearest, I offer you this best oblation for the destruction of the demons. As you have slain the demons so may we also slaughter them. Just as we have slain them so may we slaughter others!

May Savitar impel you for sacrifice. Let Agni of the house-holders, Some of the herbs, Brihaspati the lord of speech, Indra for lordship, Rudra for cattle, Mitra for uttering truth, Varuna for the obeying of the Law, urge you to sacrifice.

May gods anoint this mighty man to be without a rival, for mighty rule, for mighty dominion and for great splendour. This man, son of such a person, such a woman, of such a clan, is anointed king, O you subjects. O you so and so kings, he is your lords, he is joy-giving like Soma. He is also sovereign of our learned Brahmans!
