1COMMINGLING, restless, he ascends the sky, unveiling nights and all that stands or moves,

2As he the sole God is preeminent in greatness among all these other Gods.

3All men are joyful in thy power, O God, that living from the dry wood thou art born.

4All truly share thy Godhead while they keep, in their accustomed ways, eternal Law.

5Strong is the thought of Law, the Law's behest; all works have they performed; he quickens all.

6Whoso will bring oblation, gifts to thee, to him, bethinking thee, vouchsafe thou wealth.

7Seated as Priest with Manu's progeny, of all these treasures he alone is Lord.

8Men yearn for children to prolong their line, and are not disappointed in their hope.

9Eagerly they who hear his word fulfil his wish as sons obey their sire's behest.

10He, rich in food, unbars his wealth like doors: he, the House-Friend, hath decked heaven's vault with stars.
