Translation: Be (to us), Viṣṇu, like a friend, the giver of happiness, the acepter of oblations, abounding with food, the granter of protection, and every way accessible; on which account your praise is to be repeatedly recited by the wise, and your worship to be celebrated by the offerer of oblations.
Mandala 1, Sukta 156, Verse 2
Sanskrit: यः पूर्व्याय वेधसे नवीयसे सुमज्जानये विष्णवे ददाशति । यो जातमस्य महतो महि ब्रवत्सेदु श्रवोभिर्युज्यं चिदभ्यसत् ॥
Transliteration: yaḥ pūrvyāya vedhase navīyase sumajjānaye viṣṇave dadāśati | yo jātamasya mahato mahi bravatsedu śravobhiryujyaṃ cidabhyasat ||
Translation: He who presents (offerings) to Viṣṇu, the ancient, the creator, the recent, the self-born; he who celebrates the great birth of that mighty one; he verily possessed of abundance, attains (the station) that is to be sought (by all).
Mandala 1, Sukta 156, Verse 3
Sanskrit: तमु स्तोतारः पूर्व्यं यथा विद ऋतस्य गर्भं जनुषा पिपर्तन । आस्य जानन्तो नाम चिद्विवक्तन महस्ते विष्णो सुमतिं भजामहे ॥
Transliteration: tamu stotāraḥ pūrvyaṃ yathā vida ṛtasya garbhaṃ januṣā pipartana | āsya jānanto nāma cidvivaktana mahaste viṣṇo sumatiṃ bhajāmahe ||
Translation: Hymners, propitiate of your own accord that ancient Viṣṇu, since you know him as the germ of sacrifice, cognizant of his greatness, celebrate his name; may we, Viṣṇu, enjoy your favour.
Mandala 1, Sukta 156, Verse 4
Sanskrit: तमस्य राजा वरुणस्तमश्विना क्रतुं सचन्त मारुतस्य वेधसः । दाधार दक्षमुत्तममहर्विदं व्रजं च विष्णुः सखिवाँ अपोर्णुते ॥
Transliteration: tamasya rājā varuṇastamaśvinā kratuṃ sacanta mārutasya vedhasaḥ | dādhāra dakṣamuttamamaharvidaṃ vrajaṃ ca viṣṇuḥ sakhivā~ aporṇute ||
Translation: The royal Varuṇa associates (himself) with the sacrifice of the pious worshipper, assisted by the company of the priests; the Aśvins (unite with it); Viṣṇu, with his friend (Indra), possesses supreme heaven-conferring power, and sits upon the clouds.
