Come, O Vāyu, with thy steeds, with thy swift winds and chariotry. Thou dwellest in the spacious paths; thou art the life of all that moveth. Come unto our sacrifice, drink of the soma that we have pressed.

The winds do go before thee as messengers; they stir the waters and rouse the earth to wakefulness. Vāyu, thou art the breath of life, the spirit that sustaineth all living things. Without thee, nought doth move nor grow upon this earth.

Come, O Indra and Vāyu together, to our pressing of the soma. Drink ye deep of the sweet juice and rejoice in the offerings we make. Ye are the mightiest pair among the gods; grant us victory in battle and abundance in all we do.

O Mitra and Varuṇa, we invoke you both. Mitra, thou guardian of friendship and of contracts; Varuṇa, lord of the waters and of truth. Keep ye the sacred order; uphold the law of ṛta. Do ye protect our people and bring prosperity to our dwelling.

Come at dawn, O Mitra, when the light breaks forth; come at evening, O Varuṇa, when the stars appear. Ye are the lords of the day and of the night; ye rule over all things seen and unseen. Bless our sacrifice and make our offerings acceptable.

From the east cometh Mitra with the morning; from the western regions cometh Varuṇa at eventide. Together they ordain the course of the sun and the movements of the constellations. May their favor rest upon us always; may their protection never fail.
