pra dyāvā yajñaiḥ pṛthivī ṛtāvṛdhā mahī stuṣe vidatheṣu pracetasā devebhirye devaputre sudaṃsasetthā dhiyā vāryāṇi prabhūṣataḥ
May heaven be exalted by our sacrifices, earth by the established rites; we praise the plains with conscious thought. May the gods and the divine son, with splendid hair, grant abundant counsels and bestow the choicest thoughts.
I glorify with sacred rites themighty Heaven and Earth, the augmenters of sacrifice, who (are to be contemplated) with devotion at holy ceremonies; those two, who, cherishing their worshippers as children, are venerated by the devout, and therefore with favour bestow (upon us) desirable blessings.
I PRAISE with sacrifices mighty Heaven and Earth at festivals, the wise, the Strengtheners of Law. Who, having Gods for progeny, conjoined with Gods, through wonder-working wisdom bring forth choicest boons.
