vayaṃ tadvaḥ samrāja ā vṛṇīmahe putro na bahupāyyam aśyāma tadādityā juhvato haviryena vasyo'naśāmahai
We choose you as sovereigns; a son not hard to obtain. Then, when the Aditi-Borns sacrificed, with the oblation and the clarified butter they became our possessors.
We solicit of you, resplendent deities, as a son (of a father), that which is to be enjoyed by many;offering oblations, may we obtain that (wealth), Ādityas, by which we may possess abundance.
Then we, imperial Rulers, claim of you this boon, your wide protection, as a son. May we, Adityas, offering holy gifts, obtain that which shall bring us greater bliss.
