a Thou art the hospitality
of Agni. For Visnu thee! Thou art the hospitality of Soma. For Visnu thee! Thou
art the hospitality of the stranger. For Visnu thee! For Agni thee, giver of
wealth, for Visnu thee; for the eagle, bringer of the Soma, thee, for Visnu
thee!
b Thy powers which they honour with oblation,
May they all envelop the sacrifice!
Giver of wealth, impeller, rich in heroes,
Slaying not heroes, O Soma, enter the dwellings.
c Thou art the seat of Aditi; sit on the seat of Aditi [1].
d Thou art Varuna who guardeth law; thou art of Varuna.
e Be prosperity ours from our friendship with the gods. May we be not severed
from our service of the gods.
f For him who rushes on I seize thee; for him who rushes around I seize thee;
for Tanunapat I seize thee; for the mighty I seize thee; for the mightiest in
strength I seize thee.
g Thou art unapproached, the unapproachable might of the gods, guarding from imprecations,
impervious to imprecations.
h May the lord of consecration approve my consecration, the lord of penance my
penance. Speedily may I attain truth. Place me in good fortune.
