I cleanse your speech, I cleanse your breath, your eyes, your navel, your sexual organ, your rump and your whole conduct.

May your mind grow full, your breath grow in strength, your eyes become fuller, your ears grow stronger. Whatever in you is short-tempered, may that be removed, your desire be fulfilled and your conduct the purified. Blessed be your days. O herb, guard him and do not harm. Weapons, you also protect him.

O evil one, you are the devil’s share, be expelled from here. Hereby I sweep away and repel the demons. I send the fiends to the nether most dark region. I invest the heaven and earth with yajna-sanctified sap. Let Agni enjoy the oblation of ghee, let Vayu enjoy the offerings. Svaha! May consecrated Earth and Surya go to Vayu, the offspring of the Maruts.

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!
