Plain text of Kanda 2 · iii. 4. 5

a The Radiant One, overlord of creatures, may He help me; the Mighty One of powers, Yama of earth, Vayu of the atmosphere, the Light-giver of the sky, the moon of the stars, the Lord of Prayer of holy power, the Friend of truths, the All-Seeing of waters, the ocean of streams, food of lordships overlord, may it help me; the Provider of plants, the Impeller of instigations, the Healer of cattle, the Fashioner of forms, the All-Pervading of mountains, the Maruts of troops overlords, may they help me.

b O ye fathers, ye grandfathers, ye further, ye nearer, ye dadas, ye granddadas, may your good deeds here help me by God's leave.

c In this holy power, this worldly power, this prayer, this priesthood, this rite, this invocation of God.
