May the auspicious favour of the Gods be ours, on us descend the bounty of the righteous Gods. The friendship of the Gods have we devoutly sought, so may the Gods extend our life that we may live. We call them hither with a hymn of olden time, Bhaga, the friendly Daksha, Mitra, Aditi, Aryaman, Varuna, Soma, the Ashvins. May Saraswati, auspicious, grant felicity. May Vayu waft to us the felicitous medicament, May Mother Earth, Father Heaven, bring it; May the felicitous Stones distilling Soma secure it. May ye Ashvins with understanding hearken to our prayers. We worship Him, the Lord of the universe of the inanimate and animate creation, for, He is the blesser of our intellect and our protector. He dispenses life and good among all. Him do we worship, for as He is our preserver and benefactor, so is He our way to bliss and happiness also. May Indra who is provided with great speed do well to us, May Pushan who is knower of world do good to us and May Tarkshya who devastates enemies do good to us! May Brihaspati, the Lord of the Vedic knowledge or speech give us spiritual delight got from the light of knowledge and wisdom. The Maruts, sons of Prishni, with spotted steeds, of happy gait, frequenters of sacrifices, the Gods whose tongue is Agni, knowers, radiant as the Sun, May all come hither for our protection. Gods, May we with our ears listen to what is good, and with our eyes see what is good, ye Holy Ones. With firm limbs and bodies, May we extolling you attain the term of life appointed by the Gods. A hundred autumns stand before us, O ye Gods, within whose space ye bring our bodies to decay; Within whose space our sons become fathers in turn. Break ye not in the midst our course of fleeting life. May peace radiate there in the whole sky as well as in the vast ethereal space everywhere. May peace reign all over this earth, in water and in all herbs, trees and creepers. May peace flow over the whole universe. May peace be in the supreme being Brahman. And may there always exist in all peace and peace alone.
