Intelligence, come first to us with store of horses and of kine! Thou with the rays of the sun art our honoured and holy one.

2 The first, devout intelligence, lauded by sages, sped by prayer, trusted by students, for the favour of God I call.

3 That excellent intelligence which the skilled know, and the mighty, intelligence which sages know, we cause to enter into me.

4 Do Thou, O God the Radiant, make me wise this day with that intelligence which the creative seers, which the men endowed with wisdom knew.

5 Intelligence at eve, at morn, intelligence at noon of day, with the sun's beams, and by our speech we plant in us intelligence.
