प्र शंत॑मा॒ वरु॑णं॒ दीधि॑ती॒ गीर्मि॒त्रं भग॒मदि॑तिं नू॒नम॑श्याः । पृष॑द्योनिः॒ पञ्च॑होता शृणो॒त्वतू॑र्तपन्था॒ असु॑रो मयो॒भुः
pra śaṃtamā varuṇaṃ dīdhitī gīrmitraṃ bhagamaditiṃ nūnamaśyāḥ pṛṣadyoniḥ pañcahotā śaṛṇotvatūrtapanthā asuro mayobhuḥ
May I propitiate Varuṇa, Mitra, Bhaga, Aditi with songs. May the fruitful womb and the five sacrificial makers hear our hymn; the undying power shall be our portion.
May our most animating praise, together with our offerings, successfully attain Varuṇa, Mitra, Bhaga and Aditi; may the ministrant of the five (vital airs, Vāyu), the dweller in the dappled (firmament), he whose path is unimpeded, who is the giver of life, the bestower of happiness, hear.
Now may our sweetest song with deep devotion reach Varuna, Mitra, Aditi, and Bhaga. May the Five Priests' Lord, dwelling in oblations, bliss-giving Asura, hear, whose paths are open.
