O Waters, wash away all my malicious deeds, sinful taints and stains, any wrong that I have done to others, the lies I have uttered and the curse of mine. May these Waters and Pavaman free me from that sin!

May your mind be strengthened and your breath united with life-force. You are the slayer of foes. May Agni mature you, waters impel you. May you be possessed of Vayu’s speed and Surya’s heat so that the enemy reel and stumble under your pressure.

O you enjoyers of ghee, drink it, enjoy the gravy you drinkers of gravy. You are heaven’s oblation. We offer oblations to all the directions, to fore-regions, the high-regions, the lower and middle ones, to all the regions.

Sail on the oceans in the best ship, fly in the aeroplanes, go to god Savitar! Go to Mitra and Varuna, know day and night, know the Vedas, Rig, Yajur, Soma and Atharva with their constituent parts. Possess the knowledge of heaven and earth, know the rites of sacrifice, obtain knowledge of herbs, go to the divine ether. Know Vaishvanara through science, grant me good mind and heart. May the smoke of your sacrifice ascend to the sky, and your radiance to heaven. May you fill the vast earth with the ashes of the yajna.

Harm not the waters, injure not the herbs, guard us at every place. O Varuna, we take the vow not to kill the kine, unworthy to be slain. Let waters be our best friends. Let the herbs be unfriendly like foes to them whom we detest and who hate us.

These waters are full of saps and good food, rich in that food, one desires to have. May the sacrifice be rich in oblations and rich be Surya in giving Sacrificer the abundant gift.

I set you down in the assembly of wise. You are Indra-Agni’s share, you are Varuna-Mitra’s share. You are the share of all the gods. May the waters collected around the Sun, and those wherewith the Sun has joined come hither to our yajna with speed.

O Soma, approach your people like a father and let people come to you like sons. May Agni with his fuel hear my invocation. May divine waters it, and you learned and steadfast people. May God Savitar hear my prayers. Svaha!

O god Agni, whom you protect in the battle or urge to the fight, he is the lord of abundant food.

By impulse of god Savitar, with the arms of Ashvins and with the hands of Pushan I accept you. You are the best giver of gifts. Perform this great yajna for Indra with most excellent sacrificial things.

Satisfy my mind, satisfy my speed, satisfy my breath, my eyes, my ears, my soul, satisfy my progeny, satisfy my kine, elephants, horses and cattle, satisfy my men and followers, let my bands of men never be sad!

We appoint you for Indra accompanied by the Vasus and the Rudras, for Indra with the Adityas. For foe-slaying Indra, for Soma-bringing and falcon-like foe-attacking Indra. You for splendour-giving Agni!

O Soma, your light that extends in heaven, on the earth, that in mid-region’s vast space, with that help the Sacrificer in his enrichment, bless you the giver!

O you immortal consorts, possessed of great might, foe-slaying, bestowing wealth, devoted to your divine husband’s grant success to this sacrifice and enjoy Soma at our request!

O ladies, be not afraid, tremble not in fear, take courage. You twain being firm, stay resolute taking courage so that your shortcomings are removed and you be happy like the moon.

O Mother, let from the east, west, north, south, from every direction the regions rush to meet you. O Mother, let noble meet, noble!

O Mightiest, O Maghavan, bless the mortal man. There is none but you to bless with happiness. I repeat your words!
