1. MAY mighty Heaven and Earth, most meet
for honour, be present here with light and gleaming splendours;
When, fixing them apart, vast, most extensive, the Steer
roars loudly in far-reaching courses.
2 The Goddesses with Gods, holy with holy,
the Two stand pouring out their rain, exhaustless:
Faithful and guileless, having Gods for children, leaders of
sacrifice with shining splendours.
3 Sure in the worlds he was a skilful
Craftsman, he who produced these Twain the Earth and Heaven.
Wise, with his power he brought both realms, together spacious
and deep, wellfashioned, unsupported.
4 O Heaven and Earth, with one accord
promoting, with high protection as of Queens, our welfare,
Far-reaching, universal, holy, guard us. May we, car-borne,
through song be victors ever.
5 To both of you, O Heaven and Earth, we
bring our lofty song of praise,
Pure Ones! to glorify you both.
6 Ye sanctify each other's form, by your
own proper might ye rule,
And from of old observe the Law.
7 Furthering and fulfilling, ye, O Mighty,
perfect Mitra's Law.
Ye sit around our sacrifice.
