May the hymns be to you like offerings of cattle; may the fatherly Maruts grant us welfare. May your good counsels melt away calamity; we choose you and call you near.

I restore to you the praises (derived from you), as a shepherd (returns his sheep to their owner); father of the Maruts, bestow happiness upon me; your auspicious benignityis the cause of successive delight, therefore we especially solicit your protection.

Even as a herdsman I have brought thee hymns of praise: O Father of the Maruts, give us happiness, Blessed is thy most favouring benevolence, so, verily, do we desire thy saving help.
