2In each succeeding sacrifice that mortal honoureth the Gods, He who, most widely known and famed for happiness, invitetb them.

3Ye who are Rulers over all, great is your sovran power as Gods. Ye all possess all majesty: all must be served in sacrifice.

4These are the joyous Kings of Immortality, Parijman, Mitra, Aryaman, and Varuna. What else is Rudra, praised of men? the Maruts, Bhaga, Pusana?

5Come also to our dwelling, Lords of ample wealth, common partakers of our waters, Sun and Moon, When the great Dragon of the Deep hath settled down upon their floors.

6And let the Asvins, Lords of splendour, set us free,− both Gods, and, with their Laws, Mitra and Varuna . Through woes, as over desert lands, he speeds to ample opulence.

7Yea, let the Asvins Twain he gracious unto us, even Rudras, and all Gods, Bhaga, Rathaspati; Parijman, Rbhu, Vaja, O Lords of all wealth Rbhuksanas.

8Prompt is Rbhuksan, prompt the worshipper's strong drink: may thy fleet Bay Steeds, thine who sperdes t on, approach. Not mans but God's is sacrifice whose psalm is unassailable.

9O God Savitar, harmed by none, lauded, give us a place among wealthy princes. With his Car−steeds at once 'hath our Indra guided the reins and the car of these men.

10To these men present here, O Heaven and Earth, to us grant lofty fame extending over all mankind. Give us a steed to win us strength, a steed with wealth for victory.

11This speaker, Indra−for thou art our Friend−wherever he may be, guard thou, Victor! for help, ever for help Thy wisdom, Vasu! prosper him.

12So have they strengthened this mine hymn which seems to take its bright path to the Sun, and reconcil es the men: Thus forms a carpenter the yoke of horses, not to be displaced.

13Whose chariot−seat hath come again laden with wealth and bright with gold, Lightly, with piercing ends, as 'twere two ranks of heroes ranged for fight.

14This to Duhsima Prthavana have I sung, to Vena, Rama, to the nobles, and the King. They yoked five hundred, and their love of us was famed upon their way.

15Besides, they showed us seven −and−seventy horses here. Tanva at once displayed his gift, Parthya at once displayed his gift; and straightway Mayava showed his.
