1. In the essence of earthly bliss, O ye gods, in strength
of body (may he live)! May Agni, Sûrya, Brihaspati bestow upon him life's
vigour!
2. Give life to him, O Gâtavedas, bestow in addition
progeny upon him, O Tvashtar; procure, O Savitar, increase of wealth for him;
may this one, who belongs to thee, live a hundred autumns!
3. May our prayer bestow upon us vigour, and possession of
sound. progeny; ability and property do ye two, (O heaven and earth), bestow
upon us!, May he, conquering lands with might, (live), O Indra, subjecting the
others, his enemies!
4. Given by Indra, instructed by Varuna, sent by the
Maruts, strong, he has come to us; may he, in the lap of ye two, heaven and
earth, not suffer from hunger and not from thirst!
5. Strength may ye two, that are rich in strength, bestow
upon him; milk may ye two, that are rich in milk, bestow upon him! Strength
heaven and earth did bestow upon him; strength all the gods, the Maruts, and
the waters.
6. With the gracious (waters) do I delight thy heart,
mayest thou, free from disease, full of force, rejoice! Clothed in the same
garment do ye two drink this stirred drink, taking on as a magic form the shape
of the two Asvins!
7. Indra, having been wounded, first created this vigour,
and this ever fresh divine food: that same belongs to thee. By means of that do
thou, full of force, live (a hundred) autumns; may it not flow out of thee:
physicians have prepared it for thee!
