पी॒पाय॑ धे॒नुरदि॑तिरृ॒ताय॒ जना॑य मित्रावरुणा हवि॒र्दे । हि॒नोति॒ यद्वां॑ वि॒दथे॑ सप॒र्यन्स रा॒तह॑व्यो॒ मानु॑षो॒ न होता॑
pīpāya dhenuraditirṛtāya janāya mitrāvaruṇā havirde hinoti yadvāṃ vidathe saparyansa rātahavyo mānuṣo na hotā
Bring the offering, O dawn-cattle; may the sacrificial oblation be offered, Mitra and Varuna. May what in your rites harms at night depart, and may no man be the priest in vain.
Let the productive cow, Mitra and Varuṇa, furnish abundant nutriment to the pious man who presents you with oblations, as when Rātahavya, glorifying you, propitiates you in the solemnity, like the ministrant priest of a man (who instrumental tutes the rite).
O Mitra-Varuna, Aditi the Milch-cow streams for the rite, for folk who bring oblation, When in the assembly he who worships moves you, like to a human priest, with gifts presented.
