11 From thence percerving he beholds all wondrous things, both what hath been,
And what hereafter will be done.
12 May the wise Lord keep us all our days on the righteous path
and grant us long life.
13 Varuna, wearing golden mail, hath clad him in a shining robe.
His spies are seated found about.
14 The God whom enemies threaten not, nor those who tyrannize o'er men,
Nor those whose minds are bent on wrong.
15 He who gives glory to mankind, not glory that is incomplete,
To our own bodies giving it.
16 Yearning for the wide-seeing One, my thoughts move onward unto him,
As kine unto their pastures move.
17 Once more together let us speak, because my meath is brought: priest-like
Thou eatest what is dear to thee.
18 Now saw I him whom all may see, I saw his car above the earth:
He hath accepted these my songs.
19 O Lord! Hear my prayer and invocation. Make this day a happy one.
Protect me today.
20 Thou, O wise God, art Lord of all, thou art the King of earth and heaven
Hear, as thou goest on thy way.
21 Release us from the upper bond, untie the bond between, and loose
The bonds below, that I may live.

Swift streamest to the worshipper.

Agni, or urgest to the fray.

No one dare harm your devotees.
9 May he who dwells with all mankind bear us with war-steeds through the fight,
And with the singers win the spoil.

Adorable in every house.
11 May this our God, great, limitless, smoke-bannered excellently bright,
Urge us to strength and holy thought.
12 Like some rich Lord of men may he, Agni the banner of the Gods,
Refulgent, hear us through our lauds.

Let us, if we have power, pay the God worship: no better prayer than this, ye Gods, acknowledge.

O Indra, drink with eager thirst the droppings which the mortar sheds.
3 There where the woman marks and leans the pestle's constant rise and fall,
O Indra, drink with eager thirst the droppings which the mortar sheds.
4 Where, as with reins to guide a horse, they bind the churning-staff with cords,

Here give thou forth thy clearest sound, loud as the drum of conquerors.

6 O Sovran of the Forest, as the wind blows soft in front of thee,
Mortar, for Indra press thou forth the Soma juice that he may drink.

Like two bay horses champing herbs.

And what hereafter will be done.
