नमो॑ म॒हद्भ्यो॒ नमो॑ अर्भ॒केभ्यो॒ नमो॒ युव॑भ्यो॒ नम॑ आशि॒नेभ्यः॑ । यजा॑म दे॒वान्यदि॑ श॒क्नवा॑म॒ मा ज्याय॑सः॒ शंस॒मा वृ॑क्षि देवाः

Salutations to the great, salutations to the shining ones, salutations to the youthful ones, salutations to the seat-givers. May we, who invoke the gods, be capable; may we not exceed praise like the tree, O gods.
Veneration to the great gods, veneration to the lesser, veneration to the young, veneration to the old we worship (all) the gods as well as we are able; may I not omit the praise of the elder divinities.
Glory to Gods, the mighty and the lesser glory to Gods the younger and the elder! Let us, if we have power, pay the God worship: no better prayer than this, ye Gods, acknowledge.
