1 Come as home-guardians, saving us from foemen, guarding our living creatures and our bodies. Come to the house to give us seed and offspring: send us health.

2 Whether ye be faring, ye twain, with the Mighty, or resting in one dwelling-place with the Wind, in concord with the craftsmen or the Adityas, or standing still in the places of the All-Pervading One's striding,

3 when I, O servants of God, call to-day that I may gather strength, or as all-conquering might in war, be that Thy noblest grace.

4 Now come hitherward: here are offerings set for you; these gifts to aid Yadu and Turvasa, these offered you amid Kanva's sons.

5 Whatever healing balm is yours, near or far away, therewith, great sages, grant a home to Vatsa and to Vimada.
