May the ruler of the front, the lord of Agni, grant me lifespan. May he bestow offspring like sons under Indra’s lordship. May the god Savita, lord of the rear, grant me sight. May the northern lord of elements grant me nourishment. May Brahaspati, lord above and around, grant me vigor. Do not harm me, O all beings; spare my vital breath.
