Wealthy Rudras, increasing in number, dwell in the town; grant us auspiciousness, O Vṛṣṇas. Of the tenfold herd he is the lord; he placed you in friendship and adorned you with hairlike splendor.
Dasras, showerers (of benefits), granters of dwellings, dispellers of sin, cognizant of many (things), increasing (through praise), and fulfillers (of desires), inasmuch as Aucatthya offer you (sacrificial) wealth, and you protect (your worshippers) with unobjectionable aids, bestow uponus (our prayers).
YE Vasus Twain, ye Rudras full of counsel, grant us, Strong Strengtheners, when ye stand beside us, What wealth Aucathya craves of you, great Helpers when ye come forward with no niggard succour.
