1

MAY mighty Heaven and Earth, most fitting for honor, be present here with light and radiant glory; When, placing them apart, vast and extensive, the Steer roars loudly in far-reaching paths.

2

The Goddesses with Gods, holy with holy, the Two stand pouring out their rain, boundless: Faithful and without deceit, having Gods as children, leaders of sacrifice with brilliant glory.

3

Sure in the worlds he was a skilled Craftsman, he who produced these Two the Earth and Heaven. Wise, with his power he brought both realms, together spacious and deep, well-formed, unshaken.

4

O Heaven and Earth, with one accord promoting, with high protection as of Queens, our welfare, Far-reaching, universal, holy, guard us. May we, car-borne, through song be victorious always.

5

To both of you, O Heaven and Earth, we bring our lofty song of praise, Pure Ones! to glorify you both.

6

Ye sanctify each other’s form, by your own proper might ye rule, And from of old observe the Law.

7

Furthering and fulfilling, ye, O Mighty, perfect Mitra’s Law. Ye sit around our sacrifice.
