Who among you, Vasus, protects? You, Heaven and Earth, and Aditi, guard us, Varuṇa, Mitra, from the stronger mortal. Which of you at sacrifice gives comfort?
Those who praise the ancient laws with praise, when they shine forth without fail, Have established them as eternal guides and shown holy thoughts.
May the Housewife Goddess, Aditi, and Sindhu, the Goddess Svasti, be my friend: And may the unobstructed Night and Morning, day and night, protect us.
Aryaman, Varuṇa revealed the path, Agni, Lord of Strength, the way to well-being. May Indra-Viṣṇu grant us their powerful defense and shelter.
I beseeched the favor of the Maruts, Parvata, Bhaga, the rescuer from man's troubles. Mitra, let Mitra save us from woes sent by a friend.
Through these watery offerings, Goddesses, Heaven and Earth, with Ahibudhnya. As if to win the sea, the Gharma-heaters open, as they approach, the rivers.
May Aditi, with the gods, defend us, save us, the ever-caring protector. We do not stint the sacred food of Mitra and Varuṇa on Agni’s back.
Agni is the Sovereign Lord of wealth, Agni of great prosperity: Grant us these gifts.
Hither, rich and pleasant Dawn, bring many things desired, You who have ample wealth.
Then may Bhaga, Savitar, Varuṇa, Mitra, Aryaman, Indra, bring bounty to us.
