Those seeking refuge, purified, dwell in front—young men, tireless, heroic. Lift from us the thought that afflicts; grant us shelter for great prosperity.
Standing on the east of the kindled (fire), dispensing food (as the source) of undecaying (health) and excellent progeny, keeping off our enemy at a distance, stand up for great auspiciousness.
Set up to eastward of the fire enkindled, accepting prayer that wastes not, rich in hero. Driving far from us poverty and famine, lift thyself up to bring us great good fortune.
