I — God the Radiant

1 O God, well kindled, bring the righteous for him who offers holy gifts; and worship them, pure guide!

2 O Sage, present our worship to the righteous to-day, sweet to the taste, that they may help!

3 Dear, sweet of tongue, presenter of offerings, I invoke to this our worship.

4 O God, on Thy most easy car, entreated, hither bring the righteous! Thou art the appointed guide of man.

II — The Boundless Ones

1 So when the sun hath risen to-day may the sinless Friend, the Guardian, the Giver of fortune, and the Light-giver send us forth!

2 May this our home be guarded well: forward, ye bounteous, on the way, who bear us safely o'er distress!

3 Yea, the Boundless, and those great Kings whose statute is inviolate, are sovereigns of a vast domain.

III — God the Mighty

1 Let gifts make Thee glad! Display Thy bounty, Thunderer: drive off the enemies of prayer!

2 Crush with Thy foot the niggard churls who bring no gifts! Mighty art Thou: there is not one to equal Thee.

3 Thou art the Lord of gifts pressed, gifts unpressed are also Thine: Thou art the Sovereign of the folk.

IV — The Purifying Provision of God

1 True object of our hymns, Sage, watchful, hath settled in the press as they refine him. Him the ministers, paired and eager, follow, leaders of worship and skilful-handed.

2 He, purified and bringing gifts to the sun, hath filled full heaven and earth, and hath disclosed them. He by whose dear help heroes gain their wishes will yield the precious meed as to a victor.

3 He, being cleansed, the strengthener and increaser, bountiful, helped us with his lustre, wherein our sires of old who knew the footsteps found light and sought the kine within the mountain.

V — God the Mighty

1 Glorify naught besides, O friends, so shall no sorrow trouble you! Praise only the Mighty Lord when the gift is shed, and say your lauds repeatedly!

2 Even Him, the swift one, like a bull who rushes down, men's conqueror, bounteous like a cow; Him who is cause of both, of enmity and peace, to both sides most munificent.

VI — God the Mighty

1 These songs of ours exceeding sweet, these hymns of praise ascend to Thee, like ever-conquering chariots that display their strength, gain wealth and give unfailing help.

2 The righteous are like suns, and have gained each thing whereon their thought was bent. The living men of the seekers of wisdom have sung exalting the Mighty with their lauds.

VII — The Purifying Provision of God

1 Run forth to battle conquering the wicked! Thou speedest to quell the foe like one exacting debts.

2 Thou, purifier, didst beget the sun with might, and rain in the supporting sky, hasting to us with plenty vivified with milk.

3 For we rejoice ourselves in thee effused for great supremacy in fight; thou, purifier, enterest into mighty deeds.

VIII — The Purifying Provision of God

1 Flow forth, O gift, flow thou onward, sweet to the taste of the Mighty, the Friend, the Nourisher, the Giver of fortune!

2 So flow thou on as bright celestial juice, flow to the vast immortal dwelling-place!

3 Let the Mighty receive of thy juice for wisdom, and all the righteous for strength!

IX — The Purifying Provision of God

1 Even as the beams of the sun, urging men to speed, they issue forth together, gladdening as they flow, these swift outpourings in long course of holy rites: no form save only the Mighty's shows itself so pure.

2 The thought is deeply fixed, the savoury juice is shed; the tongue with joyous sound is stirring in the mouth. And like the shout of those who press, the drop, rich in sweet juice, is flowing through the fleece.

3 The bull is bellowing; the cows are coming nigh: the blessed approach the resting-place of the righteous. Onward hath the gift pressed through the sheep's fair bright fleece, and hath, as 'twere, endued a garment newly washed.

X — God the Radiant

1 From the two fire-sticks have the men engendered, with thought, urged by the hand, the glorious fire, far-seen, with pointed flame, a sign of the Lord of the Homestead.

2 The righteous set that fire in the dwelling, fair to behold, for help, from every quarter: who, in the house for ever, must be honoured.

3 Shine Thou before us, well-enkindled, with flame, most youthful God, that never fadeth! To Thee come goods and treasures all together.

XI — The Light-giver

1 This spotted Bull hath come and sat before the mother in the east, advancing to his father heaven.

2 As expiration from his breath, his radiance penetrates within: the Bull shines out through all the sky.

3 Song is bestowed upon the Bird: it reigns supreme through thirty realms throughout the days at break of morn.
