1 May benediction of the righteous approach us, holy, to aid us with all rapid succours.

Therewith may we be happily befriended, and pass triumphant over all our troubles.

2 A man should think on wealth and strive to win it by adoration on the path of Order,

Counsel himself with his own mental insight, and grasp still nobler vigour with his spirit.

3 The hymn is formed, poured are the allotted portions: as to a ford friends come unto the Wondrous.

We have obtained the power of ease and comfort, we have become acquainted with the Immortal.

4 Pleased be the Eternal Lord who loves the household with this man whom the Giver of light created.

May the Giver of fortune grace him with cattle: may he appear to him, and be delightful.

5 Like the Dawns' dwelling-place be this assembly, where in their might men rich in food have gathered.

Striving to share the praises of this singer. To us come strengthening and effectual riches!

6 This Bull's most gracious far-extended favour existed first of all in full abundance.

By his support they are maintained in common who in the Lord's mansion dwell together.

7 What was the tree, what wood, in sooth, produced it, from which they fashioned forth the Earth and Heaven?

These Twain stand fast and wax not old for ever: these have sung praise to many a day and morning.

8 Not only here is this: more is beyond us. He is the Bull, the Heaven's and Earth's supporter.

With power divine he makes his skin a filter, when the bay coursers bear him on as the sun.

9 He passes o'er the broad earth like a hawk: he penetrates the world as wind the mist-cloud.

He, balmed with oil, near the All-Seeing and the Friend, like fire in the wood, hath shot forth splendour.

10 When suddenly called the cow that erst was barren, she, self-protected, ended all her troubles.

Earth, when the first son sprang from sire and mother, cast up the germ, that which men were seeking.

11 To Nrsad's son they gave the name of Kainva, and he the brown-hued courser won the treasure.

For him dark-coloured streamed the shining udder: none made it swell for him. Thus Order willed it.
