I invoke Varuna and Aditya, the path-makers, the lord of ways, and Agni skilled to go rightly. Indra and Vishnu, praised by men, may they send us gracious protection and auspicious shelter.
Aryaman and Varuṇa instrumental uct us in the path (of worship); Agni, the lord of food points out the way to happiness; Indra and Viṣṇu, being glorified, bestow upon us desirable prosperity comprehending descendants and strength.
Aryaman, Varuna have disclosed the pathway, Agni as Lord of Strength the road to welfare. Lauded in manly mode may Indra-Visnu grant us their powerful defence and shelter.
