damūnaso apaso ye suhastā vṛṣṇaḥ patnīrnadyo vibhvataṣṭāḥ sarasvatī bṛhaddivota rākā daśasyantīrvarivasyantu śubhrāḥ
From the waters of the earth the friendly bulls (sons) and the strong wives swell with sacrificial song; Sarasvatī, wide as the heavens, the dawn that makes bright the ten regions, may they flow pure.
May the dexterous-handed, humble-minded artist (of the gods, the Ṛbhus); may the wives of the showerer (Indra); may the rivers carved out by Vibhu; may Sarasvatī and the brilliant Rākā, the illustrious granters of desires, be willing to grant us riches.
May the House-friends, the cunning-handed Artists, may the Steer's Wives, the streams carved out by Vibhvan, And may the fair Ones honour and befriend us, Sarasvati, Brhaddiva, and Raka.
