O Ṛbhus, ye divine craftsmen! Ye who fashioned the cosmos with skill and with cunning! Ye who did make the gods' instruments and the world's foundations! Accept our praise and our offering.

In the beginning ye did work together to shape all things. Ye didst fashion the sun and the moon; ye didst carve out the paths of the stars. Ye didst make the mountains stand firm; ye didst cause the rivers to flow. O Ṛbhus, ye are the makers of all that is.

By thy craft thou didst make whole what was broken. By thy cunning thou didst create beauty from formless matter. Thy hands are swift; thy mind is keen. There is no task too great for thee; there is no work beyond thy skill.

O Ṛbhus, ye are the friends of the gods! They did honor you when ye had proven your worth. Ye did climb unto the home of the Immortals through your excellence. Ye did show the way to those who follow in thy path.

To the workman we commend thee, O Ṛbhus; to the builder and to the maker of fine things. Give skill unto their hands; give cunning unto their minds. Let them create with care and with excellence, as thou didst create the world.

Accept our offering, O divine craftsmen! We praise the work of your hands and the thought of your minds. Make us also to be workers of excellence; make us also to create that which is beautiful and true. O Ṛbhus, let thy blessing fall upon all who labor with devotion.
