BY impulse of God Savitar I take thee with arms of Asvins, with the Hands of Pûshan.

A zone for Aditi art thou.

2Idâ, come hither. Aditi, come hither. Sarasvatî, come hither. Come hither, So-and-So. Come hither, So-and-So. Come hither, So-and-So.

3Thou art a zone for Aditi, a diadem for Indrânî. Pûshan art thou. Spare some for the Gharma.

4Overflow for the Asvins. Overflow for Sarasvatî. Overflow for Indra All-hail, what belongs to Indra! All-hail, what belongs to Indra! All-hail, what belongs to Indra!

5That breast of thine, exhaustless, fount of pleasure, wealth-giver, treasure-finder, free-bestower, Wherewith thou rearest all things that are choicest, — bring that, Sarasvatî, that we may drain it. Throughout the spacious middle air I travel.

6Thou art Gâyatra metre. Thou art Trishtup metre. With Heaven and Earth I grasp thee. With the Firmament I raise thee up. Indra and Asvins, drink ye the hot draught of sweet honey: sacrifice, ye Vasus. Vât! All-hail to the rain-winning beam of the Sun!

7Thee with Svâhâ to Vâta the sea. Thee with Svâhâ to Vâta the flood. Thee with Svâhâ to Vâta the unconquerable. Thee with Svâhâ to Vâta the irresistible. Thee with Svâhâ to Vâta the protection-seeker. Thee with Svâhâ to Vâta the non-destructive.

8Thee with Svâhâ to Indra Lord of Vasus. Thee with Svâhâ to Indra Lord of Rudras. Thee with Svâhâ to Indra killer of foes. Thee with Svâhâ to Savitar attended by Ribhu, Vibhu, and Vâja. Thee with Svâhâ to Brihaspati beloved of all the Gods.

9Svâhâ to Yama attended by the Angirases, attended by the Fathers! Svâhâ to the Gharma! The Gharma for the Father!

10Here hath he worshipped, seated south, all the sky-regions, all the Gods. Drink, Asvins, of the heated draught, the Svâhâ-consecrated mead.

11In heaven lay thou this sacrifice; lay thou this sacrifice in heaven. To sacrificial Agni hail! May bliss be ours from Yajus texts.

12Drink, Asvins, with your daily helps, the Gharma, strengthener of hearts. To him who draweth out the thread be homage, and to Heaven and Earth.

13The Gharma have the Asvins drunk: with Heaven and Earth have they agreed. Here, verily, be their boons bestowed.

14Overflow for food. Overflow for energy. Overflow for the Priesthood. Overflow for the Nobility. Overflow for Heaven and Earth. Thou, O duteous one, art Duty. Innocent one, in us establish manly powers; establish the People.

15All-hail to Pûshan, to the milk’s skin! All-hail to the press-stones! All-hail to their echoes! All-hail to the Fathers who are above the grass, who drink the Gharma! All-hail to Heaven and Earth! All-hail to the All-Gods!

16All-hail to Rudra invoked by worshippers! All-hail! Let light combine with light. May Day together with his sheen, fair-lighted with his light, accept. All hail! May Night together with her sheen, fair-lighted with her light, accept. All-hail! May we enjoy the mead offered in most Indra-like Agni. Homage to thee, divine Gharma! Do not
