e The zenith of the quarters; the winter and the cool season of the seasons; Brhaspati the deity; radiance the wealth; the twenty-sevenfold the Stoma, and it forming a path of the thirty-threefold; the draught ox the strength; the Abhibhu of throws; the wind all through the wind; Suparna the Rsi. f Fathers, grandfathers, near and far, may they protect us, may they help us, in this holy power, this lordly power, this prayer, this Purohita-ship, this rite, this invocation of the gods. a Firm is thy dwelling, thy place of birth, firm art thou Settle thou duly in thy firm place of birth; Banner of the fire in the pan, May the two Açvins, the leeches, set thee here first in the east. b In thine own skill sit thou whose sire is skill, As the great earth bountiful among the gods, Be of kindly approach and come with thy body, Kindly as a father to his son; May the two Açvins, the leeches, set thee here. c Nesting, rich in wealth, strength bestowing, Increase for us wealth, abundant, rich in heroes [1], Driving away hostility and enmity, Granting the lord of the sacrifice a share in increase of wealth, Do thou bestow the heaven as increase to the sacrificer; May the two Açvins, the leeches, set thee here. d Thou art the dust of Agni, the leader of the gods; May the All-gods favour thee as such; With Stomas for thy back, rich in ghee, sit thou here, And win to us by sacrifice riches with offspring. May the two Açvins, the leeches, set thee here! e Thou art the head of sky, the navel of earth, the holder apart of the quarters, the paramount of the worlds [2], the wave, the drop of the waters thou art; Viçvakarman is thy seer; may the two Açvins, the leeches, set thee here. f In unison with the seasons, in unison with the ordainers, in unison with the unison with the Rudras, in unison with the Adityas, in unison with the All-gods, in unison with the gods, in unison with the gods establishing strength, to Agni Vaiçvanara, thee; may the two Açvins, the leeches, set thee here.
