1

Shorten our paths, O Pūṣan, drive away obstacles on our journey: Come near before us, cloud-born God.

2

Drive, Pūṣan, the wolf from our path, the wicked one who lurks to harm us, Who waits in ambush to do us wrong.

3

He who lurks along our way, the thief with a deceitful heart: Drive him far from our path.

4

With your foot, crush out the firebrand of the wicked one, The double-tongued, whoever they may be.

5

Wise Pūṣan, Wonder-Worker, grant us now the aid you gave to our ancestors, To help them prosper long ago.

6

As Lord of all prosperity, best wielder of the golden sword, Make it easy to win riches.

7

Lead us past all pursuers, make our path pleasant and fair to walk: O Pūṣan, grant us power for this.

8

Lead us to lush meadows filled with grass: send no early heat on our way: O Pūṣan, grant us power for this.

9

Be kind to us, fill us with strength, feed us, and invigorate: O Pūṣan, grant us power for this.

10

We have no fault to find with Pūṣan; we sing his praises with song: We seek the Mighty One for wealth.
