म॒हद॒द्य म॑ह॒तामा वृ॑णीम॒हेऽवो॑ दे॒वानां॑ बृह॒ताम॑न॒र्वणा॑म् । यथा॒ वसु॑ वी॒रजा॑तं॒ नशा॑महै॒ तद्दे॒वाना॒मवो॑ अ॒द्या वृ॑णीमहे
mahadadya mahatāmā vṛṇīmahe'vo devānāṃ bṛhatāmanarvaṇām yathā vasu vīrajātaṃ naśāmahai taddevānāmavo adyā vṛṇīmahe
We choose greatness, the great ones of the gods, the vast treasures of the singers. As the wealth of the Vasus and the bold born is born, so may it be for us — today may we choose the gods' strength.
We impolore today the especial protection of the mighty, the great, the irresistible, gods, that we mayobtain riches, and male progeny; we solicit today this protection of the gods.
We crave the gracious favour of the Gods to-day, great favour of great Gods, sublime and free from foes, That we may gain rich treasure sprung from hero sons. We crave this gracious favour of the Gods to-day.
