1a To I earth thee! To atmosphere thee! To sky thee!     b Pure be the world where the Pitrs sit.     c Thou art barley (yava); bar (yavaya) from us foes, bar evil spirits.     d Thou art the seat of the Pitrs.     e Thou art easy of approach, first among leaders; the tree will mount thee, be aware of it.     f Let the god Savitr anoint thee with honey.     g For the plants with good berries thee!     h Support the sky, fill the atmosphere, with thy base make firm the earth.     i To these dwellings of thine are we fain to go,     Where are the many-horned active kine;     There is resplendent the highest step     Of the wide-stepping Visnu, the mighty!     k Behold the deeds of Visnu     Wherein he displayed his laws,     Indra's true friend.     l That highest step of Visnu     The singers ever gaze upon     Like an eye stretched in the sky.     m Thee that art winner of Brahmans, winner of nobles, winner of fair     offspring, winner of increase of wealth, I close in.     n Strengthen the Brahmans, strengthen the nobles, strengthen offspring,     strengthen increase of wealth,     o Thou art invested; lot the clans of the gods invest thee; let increase     of wealth, let (the clans) of men invest the sacrificer here.     p On the slope of the atmosphere I conceal thee.
