The first offering that Atharvan, the servant of God, offered, the earliest sacrifice paid by the All-Knowing, even this I, foremost, with repeated worship, now offer unto Thee. May God accept the sacrificer's gift. Praise to God the Radiant!

2 In front I set sincere intention, the mother of thought; may it be ready to hear us. Mine, and mine only, be the hope I fashion! May I gain this that hath possessed my spirit.

3 With sincere purpose, O God, Lord of creatures, with purpose come Thou near to us. Bestow on us a share of luck, and so be swift to hear our call.

4 O God, Lord of creatures, with favour regard this word and this my settled purpose! May He, from whom angels and all created powers had being, attend our desire with His gentle guidance.
