a The golden germ.

b When the waters.

c O Creator.

d He as a son knows the father, he the mother,

He is a son, he is of generous returns;

He has enveloped the sky, the atmosphere, the heaven;

He has become all the worlds, he has come to be.

e Up that.

f The radiant.

g Thou from of old with thy new glory,

O Radiant One, with thy companion light,

Hast mightily outstretched.

h He puts down the wise contrivings of every worshipper;

Bearing in his arm many a manly deed;

The Radiant has become the lord of riches,

Making ever all lasting things.

i To help us I summon

The golden-handed Light-giver;

He as a mighty one knows the place.

k Prosperity today, O Light-giver, prosperity tomorrow,

Day by day mayest thou procure prosperity for us;

Through this prayer may we win the prosperity

Of many a prosperous dwelling, O God.

l O earth, thou bearest

The weight of the mountains,

Thou that dost, O great earth,

With thy hills, quicken with thy might.

m The songs salute thee,

Thee that extendest far, each day,

Thee that, O bright one, dost shoot forward

The seed like great riches.

n May I be in companionship with the friend pleasant within,

Who being drunk shall not harm me, O thou of the tawny steeds;

This provision that has been deposited within us,

For that I go to God the Mighty to prolong my life.

o Giving spirit when drunk, with swift onset,

Impetuous, strong, bearing arrows, with the residue is the provision;

All plants and trees did not fail aforetime

As substitutes for the Mighty.

p The righteous provision, as pressed, becomes visible,

Jamadagni singing the hymn to the Mighty;

Thou art the mighty restrainer of impetuous might;

Ward it off and strengthen the support for the singer.

q In unison men that make prayers offer to thee this prayer

That gives delight and invigoration;

When the hymn with the radiance of the provision shall speed forth,

Then shall the Mighty show His might in the contests.

r From the mouth to thee, O All-Pervading, do I utter the Vasat call;

Do thou accept my oblation, O Cipivista;

Let my fair hymns of praise cause thee to be magnified;

Do ye protect us ever with blessings.

s That name of thee, the noble, today I celebrate,

O Cipivista, knowing the ways;

I, the weaker, sing thee the strong,

That rulest beyond this region.

t What was there to be disclosed in thee, O All-Pervading,

What time thou didst declare, "I am Cipivista"?

Conceal not from us thy majesty

What time thou dost change thy form in battle.

u O Radiant One, give to the giver

Wealth of heroes in abundance;

Quicken us to richness in sons.

v Give to us, O Radiant One, a hundred, give a thousandfold;

Like doors disclose for us booty for renown;

Make with the prayer sky and earth propitious;

Like bright heaven the dawns have shone forth.

w O Radiant One give wealth that adorns the hero;

The Radiant, the seer who wins thousands;

The Radiant has placed the oblation in the sky;

In many a place are the signs of the Radiant.

x Destroy us not.

y Bring to us.

z Thy body is faultless,

Like ghee purified, like pure gold

That of thine shines like an ornament, O thou powerful one.

aa O bright one, in thy mouth thou cookest

Both ladles full of butter;

Do thou make us full

For our hymns, O lord of strength;

Do thou bear food to the praisers.

bb O Vayu, a hundred of bay steeds

Worthy of nourishment do thou yoke;

Or let the chariot of thee that hast a thousand steeds

Come with might.

cc The teams wherewith thou comest to the giver,

O Vayu, for seeking in the house,

Grant us wealth rich in enjoyment,

And a treasure of heroes, of horses, of cows.

dd Rich banquets be ours with the Mighty,

With mighty strength,

Wherewith fed we may rejoice.

ee Rich should he be, the praiser

Of a generous and wealthy one like thee;

Famed be the praiser of thee that art famed, O thou with the bays.
