If you are my friend, desire praise and accept salutations. For I am the all‑spreading voice; may the ancient hymn go forward for the offspring of the giver.

If the priest offers homage to you two (Mitra and Varuṇa) for the sake of your friendship and ourinvigoration, on (the formation of) which (friendship) the praises (of the Aṅgirasas go) everywhere in a commondirection; may he give (plural asure) to the utterer of praise like an ancient road.

If, for our strength, the priest with adoration to win your friendship made the laud accepted, That laud shall be a branching road to virtue for every one to whom the songs are suited.
