May that one nourish us like a friend; fashioner Tvastar, may he be the giver of riches. From whom heroic, skillful, active ones are born, who are desirous of the gods.
Divine Tvaṣṭā, being well plural ased, give issue to our procreative vigour, whence (a son), manly, devout, vigorous, wielder of the (Soma-bruising) stone, and reverencing the gods, may be born.
Well pleased with us do thou O God, O Tvastar, give ready issue to our procreant vigour, Whence springs the hero, powerful, skilled in action, lover of Gods, adjuster of the press-stones.
