a Let the Vasus press thee with the Gayatri metre; go thou to the dear place of the Radiant One.

b Let the Rudras press thee with the Tristubh metre; go thou to the dear place of the Mighty One.

c Let the Adityas press thee with the Jagati metre; go thou to the dear place of all the angels.

d The pure for thee, O pure one, I stir in the gladdening water;

e In the joyous ones;

f In the Kotanas;

g In the new ones;

h In the Regis;

i In the Mesis;

k In the roaring ones;

l In the all-supporting ones;

m In the sweet ones;

n In the lofty ones;

o In the strong ones;

p In the pure ones, I stir the pure for thee, O pure.

q The pure for thee I take with the pure form of day, with the rays of the sun.

r Herein the dread ones have moved themselves,

The streams of the sky have consorted.

s The lofty form of the bull shines on high;

The provision precedes the provision,

The pure precedes the pure.

t That undeceived, watchful, name of thine, O provision of God, to that of thine, O provision of God, hail!

u Gladly do thou, O provision of God, go to the dear place of the Radiant One with the Gayatri metre.

v Willingly do thou, O provision of God, go to the dear place of the Mighty One with the Tristubh metre.

w Our friend, do thou, O provision of God, go to the dear place of all the angels with the Jagati metre.

x Come breath to us from afar,

From the atmosphere, from the sky,

Life from the earth;

Thou art life; for breath thee!

y May the Mighty One and the Radiant One confer radiance upon me,

Radiance may the Provider and the Lord of Prayer confer;

Radiance on me all the angels,

Radiance confer on me, O ye Ashvins.

z When one hastens after him,

Or utters prayers, he accepts it

All knowledge does he embrace,

Even as the felly the wheel.
