1. AGNI at
dawn, and Indra we invoke at dawn, and Varuna and Mitra, and the Asvins twain.
Bhaga at dawn, Pusan, and
Brahmanaspati, Soma at dawn, Rudra we will invoke at dawn.
2 We will
invoke strong, early-conquering Bhaga, the Son of Aditi, the great supporter:
Thinking of whom, the poor,
yea, even the mighty, even the King himself says, Give me Bhaga.
3 Bhaga our
guide, Bhaga whose gifts are faithful, favour this song, and give us wealth, O
Bhaga.
Bhaga, augment our store of
kine and horses, Bhaga, may we be rich in men and heroes.
4 So may
felicity be ours at present, and when the day approaches, and at noontide;
And may we still, O Bounteous
One, at sunset be happy in the Deities' loving-kindness.
5 May Bhaga
verily be bliss-bestower, and through him, Gods! may happiness attend us.
As such, O Bhaga, all with
might invoke thee: as such be thou our Champion here, O Bhaga.
6 To this our
worship may all Dawns incline them, and come to the pure place like
Dadhikravan.
As strong steeds draw a chariot
may they bring us hitherward Bhaga who discovers treasure.
7 May blessed
Mornings dawn on us for ever, with wealth of kine, of horses, and of heroes,
Streaming with all abundance,
pouring fatness. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
