May this my oblation cause the birth of the best progeny. May this bring ten brave sons, all fine things, physical strength, good children, cattle, fearlessness, peace and power for our weal. O Agni, confer on us food, milk and manly strength and render my progeny abundant.

Our reverend ancient Fathers Angirases, Navagvas, Atharvans, Bhirgus deserve Soma. May we follow the path of these adorable ancients, and enjoy their loving gracious favour!

Our ancient Fathers, deserving Soma, may come again and again to our sacrifice and with them let Yama happily enjoy our oblations at his will.

O Soma, your are pre-eminent for wisdom. With your wisdom you follow the straight path of gods as our leader. O Soma, our learned ancient Fathers by your wisdom and guidance obtained the best treasures among the gods.

Associating with the Fathers, O Soma, spread out yourself abroad between heaven and earth. Therefore, let us serve you, O Indu, and let us be lord of the wealth.

O Fathers, sitting on best seats and the highest positions, these oblations we offer you, accept them and come here to help us. Come here unto us with auspicious favour, peace, happiness, and protection. Remove whatever sin and distress are within us.

I know the blissful Fathers, so knowledgeful and protector. I know the all-pervading God’s immortal varied creation. May those visit this our place, who wholly dedicated to God, with their life force enjoy the nectar of self-realization.

May the ancient Fathers, worthy of Soma, invited to their loved sacrifice, come here and listen our speech. May they enlighten us with their teachings and protect us.

O you all Fathers, harm us not for any sin which we might have committed through human frailty. Bowing down with the bent knees and seated on the right side we pay you homage. Accept our homage with favour.

O Fathers, grant riches to the charitably disposed men and your sons sitting beside their fair mothers. Give them a portion of your riches so that they may thereby gain energy.

O kvyahana Agni, bearer of best things to the wise, grant us that supreme wealth which you through praiseworthy speech consider fit to be granted to the wise.

Now let us offer oblations to the Fathers, to those advanced in age and wisdom and to those who followed them, to those who are engrossed in the wordly affairs and to those who dwell among the men of lofty character.

O Agni, as in the ancient days our Fathers, holy, devoted to truth, spreading knowledge, sang hymns of praise and acquired radiant wives and ground to live on, so should you remove ignorance and cast away the darkness.
