O Viśvedevas, all ye gods! Come hither! The divine assembly is convening! We kindle the sacred fires! We pour out the soma! We sing the songs of invocation! Come ye to our altar and accept our offerings!

Hear the call, O Indra and Agni! Hear the call, O Mitra and Varuṇa! Hear the call, O Aśvins and Soma! Hear the call, O Vāyu and Pūṣan! Hear the call, O All-Gods who dwell in the heavens!

We are mortals who dwell upon this earth. We are small and weak, yet we have the strength to make offerings and to sing thy praises. We gather here, the children of the earth, to commune with the immortal ones. This is our right, for we are the creatures of the gods, made in thy image, blessed by thy creation.

Come down, O divine ones, from thy high seats in the heavens! Come down and share in the soma! Come down and smell the sweet aroma of the offerings! Come down and listen to our songs! Come down and grant us thy blessings!

We do not come before thee empty-handed or with empty hearts! We bring the finest offerings from our herds and our fields! We bring the music of our voices raised in praise! We bring our devotion and our hope! Receive what we have brought! Accept our worship! Let thy presence fill this place! Let thy power flow into us! Grant us thy blessings now and forever!
