ए॒ता अ॑ग्न आशुषा॒णास॑ इ॒ष्टीर्यु॒वोः सचा॒भ्य॑श्याम॒ वाजा॑न् । मेन्द्रो॑ नो॒ विष्णु॑र्म॒रुतः॒ परि॑ ख्यन्यू॒यं पा॑त स्व॒स्तिभिः॒ सदा॑ नः
etā agna āśuṣāṇāsa iṣṭīryuvoḥ sacābhyaśyāma vājān mendro no viṣṇurmarutaḥ pari khyanyūyaṃ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ
These Agnis, swift as arrows, are to be invoked in the youth’s rites; they will be with the host. May Indra, Vishnu, and the Maruts, surrounding us, protect us with auspiciousness always.
Diligently celebrating these rites, may we, Agni, (and Indra), at once arrive at your food; let not Indra,Viṣ.u, the Maruts, abandon us; and do you (gods) ever cherish us with blessings.
While we accelerate these our sacrifices, may we win strength from both of you, O Agni: Ne'er may the Maruts, Indra, Visnu slight us. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
