5.L Viśvedevas 
víśvo devásya nayitúr+ márto vurīta sakhiyám |
víśvo rāyá iṣudhyati dyumnáṃ vr̥ṇīta puṣyáse || 
1 LET every mortal man elect the friendship of the guiding God. Each one solicits him for wealth and seeks renown to prosper him. 
té te deva nayitar+ yé ca imā́m̐ anuśáse |
té rāyā́ té hí āpŕ̥ce sácemahi sacathíyaiḥ || 
2 These, leading God, are thine, and these here ready to speak after us. As such may we attain to wealth and wait with services on thee. 
áto na ā́ nr̥̄́n átithīn átaḥ pátnīr daśasyata |
āré víśvam patheṣṭhã́ṃ dviṣó yuyotu yū́yuviḥ || 
3 So further honour as our guests the Hero Gods and then the Dames. May he remove and keep afar our foes and all who block our path. 
yátra váhnir abhíhito dudrávad dróṇiyaḥ paśúḥ |
nr̥máṇā vīrápastiyo árṇā dhī́reva sánitā || 
4 Where fire is set, and swiftly runs the victim dwelling in the trough, He wins, with heroes in his home, friendly to man, like constant streams. 
eṣá te deva nayitā+ ráthaspátiḥ śáṃ rayíḥ |
śáṃ rāyé śáṃ suastáya iṣastúto manāmahe devastúto manāmahe || 
5 May these thy riches, Leader God! that rule the car, be blest to us, Yea, blest to us for wealth and weal. This will we ponder praising strength, this ponder as we praise the God.
