1. YOUR well-known prompt activities
aforetime needed no impulse from your faithful servant.
Where, Indra-Varuna, is now that glory wherewith ye brought
support to those who loved you?
2 This man, most diligent, seeking after
riches, incessantly invokes you for your favour.
Accordant, Indra-Varuna, with Maruts, with Heaven and Earth,
hear ye mine invocation.
3 O Indra-Varuna, ours be this treasure
ours be wealth, Maruts, with full store of heroes.
.May the Varutris with their shelter aid us, and Bharati and
Hotri with the Mornings.
4 Be pleased! with our oblations, thou
loved of all Gods, Brhaspati:
Give wealth to him who brings thee gifts.
5 At sacrifices, with your hymns worship
the pure Brhaspati -
I pray for power which none may bend -
6 The Bull of men, whom none deceive, the
wearer of each shape at will,
Brhaspati Most Excellent.
7 Divine, resplendent Pusan, this our newest
hymn of eulogy,
By us is chanted forth to thee.
8 Accept with favour this my song, be
gracious to the earnest thought,
Even as a bridegroom to his bride.
9 May he who sees all living things, see,
them together at a glancc, -
May lie, may Pusan be our help.
10 May we attain that excellent glory of
Savitar the God:
So May he stimulate our prayers.
11 With understanding, earnestly, of
Savitar the God we crave
Our portion of prosperity.
12 Men, singers worship Savitar the God
with hymn and holy rites,
Urged by the impulse of their thoughts.
13 Soma who gives success goes forth, goes
to the gathering place of Gods,
To seat him at the seat of Law.
14 To us and to our cattle may Soma give
salutary food,
To biped and to quadruped.
15 May Soma, strengthening our power of
life, and conquering our foes,
In our assembly take his seat.
16 May Mitra-Varuna, sapient Pair, bedew
our pasturage with oil,
With meatb the regions of the air.
17 Far-ruling, joyful when adored, ye reign
through majesty of might,
With pure laws everlastingly.
18 Lauded by Jamadagni's song, sit in the
place of holy Law:
Drink Soma, ye who strengthen Law.
