1a For the rite you two, for the gods may I be strong.     b Thee for accomplishment!     c The Raksas is burnt up, the evil spirits are burnt up.     d Thou art the yoke.     e Injure him who injures us, injure him whom we injure.     f Thou art of gods the most firmly jointed, the most richly filled,     the most agreeable, the best of carriers, the best caller of the gods.     g Thou art the oblation-holder that wavers not.     h Be firm, waver not.     i I gaze on thee with the eye of Mitra.     k Be not afraid, be not troubled, let me harm thee [1] not.     l (Be thou) wide open to the wind.     m On the impulse of the god Savitr, with the arms of the Açvins,     with the hands of Pusan, I offer thee dear to Agni, to Agni and Soma.     n This of the gods, this of us too.     o For prosperity thee, not for misfortune.     p May I behold the light, the radiance for all men.     q May they that have doors stand firm in heaven and earth.     r Fare along the wide atmosphere.     s I place thee in the lap of Aditi.     t O Agni, guard the offering.
