1 WHO of you, Vasus, saveth? who protecteth? O Heaven and Earth and Aditi, preserve us, Varuṇa. , Mitra, from the stronger mortal. Gods, which of you at sacrifice giveth comfort?

3 The Housewife Goddess, Aditi, and Sindhu, the Goddess Svasti I implore for friendship: And may the unobstructed Night and Morning both, day and night, provide for our protection.

4 Aryaman, Varuṇa have disclosed the pathway, Agni as Lord of Strength the road to welfare. Lauded in manly mode may Indra-Viṣṇu grant us their powerful defence and shelter.

5 I have besought the favour of the Maruts, of Parvata, of Bhaga God who rescues. From trouble caused by man the Lord preserve us; from woe sent by his friend let Mitra save us.

6 Agree, through these our watery oblations, Goddesses, Heaven and Earth, with Ahibudhnya. As if to win the sea, the Gharma-heaters have opened, as they come anear, the rivers.

nahí mitrásya váruṇasya dhāsím árhāmasi pramíyaṃ sā́nu agnéḥ || 
7 May Goddess Aditi with Gods defend us, save us the saviour God with care unceasing. We dare not stint the sacred food of Mitra and Varuṇa upon the back of Agni.

10 So then may Bhaga, Savitar, Varuṇa, Mitra, Aryaman, Indra, with bounty come to us.
