They perform rites, the ritual-makers; intentions are taken to hearts, the vital currents go, the directions fall away. No other among the gods is pressed down; my desires reached only them.
The desires cherished in my heart strive to offer worship; (our) wishes long for (the gods) andexpressed (by us) go forth to (the gods); no other bestower of happiness exists except them; upon the gods aremy desire concentrated.
The will and thoughts within my breast exert their power: they yearn with love, and fly to all the regions round. None other comforter is found save only these: my longings and my hopes are fixt upon the Gods.
