असु॑नीते॒ मनो॑ अ॒स्मासु॑ धारय जी॒वात॑वे॒ सु प्र ति॑रा न॒ आयुः॑ । रा॒र॒न्धि नः॒ सूर्य॑स्य सं॒दृशि॑ घृ॒तेन॒ त्वं त॒न्वं॑ वर्धयस्व
asunīte mano asmāsu dhāraya jīvātave su pra tirā na āyuḥ rārandhi naḥ sūryasya saṃdṛśi ghṛtena tvaṃ tanvaṃ vardhayasva
Bring forth breath into us, uphold our minds; for the sake of life and return, grant us long life. O Sun, with thy clarified fat behold us; strengthen and make our bodies grow.
Asunīti, give us back the (departed) spirit; extend our life that we may live (long); establish us that wemay (long) behold the sun; do you cherish the body with the ghī (that we have offered).
O Asuniti, keep the soul within us, and make the days we have to live yet longer. Grant that we still may look upon the sunlight: strengthen thy body with the oil we bring thee.
