1a May I Agni protect me from evil sacrifice, Savitr from evil report.     b Him who near or afar plots evil against me, with this may I conquer.     c O thou of fair rain colour, come     To this blessed home,     Approach me in devotion.     d Touch the heads.     e O Ida, come hither; O Aditi, come hither; O Sarasvati, come hither.     f Thou art delight, thou art delighting, thou art fair.     g O thou in whom joy is taken, may I attain joy from thee; O thou who art invoked, may I obtain invocation [1] from thee.     h May the prayer of the sacrificer be fulfilled for me.     i With untroubled mind may I have strength for this.     k May the sacrifice mount the sky, may the sacrifice reach the sky.     l The path that leadeth to the gods, along it may the sacrifice go to the gods.     m On us may Indra bestow power;     Us may wealth and sacrifices attend     Ours be blessings;     To us be she dear, victorious, bountiful.     n Thou art joy, give joy to us; thou art enjoyed by us [2], may I attain joy from thee.     o Mind, light, rejoice in the sacrifice     May he unite this scattered sacrifice;     May Brhaspati extend this for us.     May the All-gods rejoice here.     p Swell, O ruddy one.     q May (my act) as I give be not destroyed; may (my act) as I work not perish.     r Thou art the portion of Prajapati, full of strength and milk.     s Protect my expiration and inspiration; protect my breathing together     and cross-breathing; protect my out-breathing and cross-breathing.     t Thou art imperishable, for imperishableness thee; mayst thou not perish for me, yonder, in yonder world.
