O Viśvedevas, all-gods who dwellest in every place! Ye are the mightiest among the celestial powers. To each of you do we make our offering; from each of you do we seek blessing.
Thou, Indra, art the mighty one; thou, Agni, art the flame; thou, Varuṇa, art the lord of truth; thou, Mitra, art the friend of all. Ye are the witnesses of all deeds; ye see all that is done in secret and in the light of day.
Come, O Viśvedevas, to our sacrifice! Ye are the helpers of all mortals; ye are the defenders of the righteous. When we call upon you, ye do hear; when we pray to you, ye do turn your gaze upon us. This offering is for all of you.
The strong do find strength in you; the weak do find courage in you. The poor do find riches in your favor; the lonely do find companionship in your presence. O Viśvedevas, ye are the hope of all living things.
As the earth holdeth all creatures, so ye hold all the world in your keeping. As the sky stretcheth over all lands, so your protection covereth all people. O Viśvedevas, ye are both mighty and merciful.
Accept our offering with gladness. Let our prayer ascend unto you on the wings of smoke and flame. Grant us your favor; grant us your protection. Let us dwell under your watchful eye; let us prosper in your blessing. O Viśvedevas, all-gods, hear our prayer and make us glad.
