Bharati, with her bearers, rejoices; Ila delights among the gods and men — Agni. Sarasvati, with her flowing streams, the three‑voiced goddess, may these praises preserve her in the ritual.
May Bhāratī, associated with the Bhāratīs; Iḷā with the gods and men; and Agni, and Sarasvatī with the Sārasvatas; may the three goddesses sit down upon the sacred grass (strewn) before them.
May Bharati with all her Sisters, Ila accordant with the Gods, with mortalls Agni, Sarasvati with all her kindred Rivers, come to this grass, Three Goddesses, and seat them.
