1 TURN, go not farther on your way: visit us, O ye Wealthy Ones. Agni and Soma, ye who bring riches again, secure us wealth.

púnar enā ní vartaya púnar enā ní ā́ kuru |
índra eṇā ní yachatu agnír enā upā́jatu ||

2 Make these return to us again, bring them beside us once again. May. Indra give them back to us, and Agni drive them hither-ward.

púnar etā́ ní vartantām asmín puṣyantu gópatau |
ihaívā́gne ní dhāraya ihá tiṣṭhatu yā́ rayíḥ ||

3 Let them return to us again: under this herdsman let them feed. Do thou, O Agni, keep them here, and let the wealth we have remain.

yán niyā́naṃ niáyanaṃ saṃjñā́naṃ yát parā́yaṇam |

6 Home-leader, lead them home to us; Indra, restore to us our kine: We will rejoice in them alive.

pári vo viśváto dadha ūrjā́ ghr̥téna páyasā |
yé devā́ḥ ké ca yajñíyās té rayyā́ sáṃ sr̥jantu naḥ ||

7 1 offer you on every side butter and milk and strengthening food. May all the Holy Deities pour down on us a flood of wealth.

ā́ nivartana vartaya ní nivartana vartaya |
bhū́myāś cátasraḥ pradíśas tā́bhya enā ní vartaya ||

8 O thou Home-leader, lead them home, restore them thou who bringest home. Four are the quarters of the earth; from these bring back to us our kine,
