a This oblation is dear in your mouth,

O Mighty One and Lord of Prayer,

The hymn and acclamation is recited.

b This provision is poured for you,

O Mighty One and Lord of Prayer,

Dear for delight, for drinking.

c To us, O Mighty One and Lord of Prayer,

Grant wealth of a hundred kine,

Of horses a thousandfold.

d From behind may the Lord of Prayer guard us,

From above, from below, from the plotter of evil;

May the Mighty One from the front, from the middle,

Friend to friend, grant us wide room.

e Sped by the winds on all sides, O Radiant One,

Thy flames, O pure one, pure are diffused

Mightily destroying, the divine ones, the Navagvas

Assail the forests, rudely crushing them.

f Thee, O Radiant One, the tribes of men praise,

Who knowest the Hotr's duty, discerning, best bestower of jewels,

Who art in secret yet, O happy one, seen by all,

Of impetuous spirit, a good sacrificer, brilliant with ghee.

g May the Upholder give us wealth,

The lord the ruler of the world,

May He favour us with a full gift.

h The Upholder is lord of offspring and of wealth,

The Upholder created all this world.

The Upholder gives a son to the sacrificer

To Him let us offer the oblation rich in ghee.

i May the Upholder give us wealth,

Life in days to come and unfailing;

May we obtain the favour

Of the God whose gifts are true.

k May the Upholder give wealth to the giver,

Desiring offspring, generous in his home;

Let all the angels attend upon him,

All the righteous and Aditi in unison.

l For us today may Anumati

Among the righteous favour our sacrifice,

And be she and the Radiant One, bearer of the oblation,

A joy to the giver.

m Accord thy favour, O Anumati,

And grant us wealth;

For inspiration, for insight impel us,

Lengthen our days for us.

n May she favouring, favour us

With wealth, undecaying, rich in offspring;

In her disfavour may we not fall;

May the one easy to invoke grant us protection.

o Anumati men reverence in the quarter

Wherein is that which shines;

May she in whose lap is the broad atmosphere,

Easy to invoke, grant us protection.

p Raka, easy to invoke, I invoke with fair praise;

May the fortunate one hear us and be aware of us

With needle that breaks not may she sew her task;

May she give a hero, whose wergild is a hundred, worthy of song.

q The fair thoughts of thine, O Raka,

Whereby thou art wont to give wealth to the giver,

With them today come to us in kindliness,

Granting, O fortunate one, a thousandfold prosperity.

r O Sinivali,

s The fair-handed.

t I invoke at the sacrifice Kuhu the fortunate,

Who accomplishes her work, the easy to invoke;

May she give us the fame of our fathers;

To thee, O bounty, let us offer with oblation.

u Kuhu, lady of the nights and of lasting life,

Worthy of invocation, may she be aware of the oblation

To the giver may she assign much good fortune,

To the wise may she grant increase of wealth.
