Come, O Aśvins, ye twin gods, with your swift horses that journey across the sky. Ye bring the dawn unto all mortal dwellings; ye are the healers of all ills and sufferings. Come to our sacrifice and drink the soma that we pour.

O Indra, mighty thunderer, whom none can withstand in battle! Thou art the lord of strength, the conqueror of demons and of all enemies. With thy bolt of thunder thou hast slain the dragon; with thy might thou hast broken the fortresses of the foe.

O Viśvedevas, ye all-gods who dwellest in all the regions! To each of you do we make our offerings. Ye are the witnesses of all deeds; ye hear the prayers of mortals. Come and be present at our sacrifice; grant us your blessing.

O Sarasvatī, thou goddess of wisdom and of sacred speech! Thou art she who giveth eloquence to the singer; thou art the mother of all knowledge and learning. Come to our rite and make our praises fair and true. O thou of golden tongue, accept our offerings.

The dawn breaks forth upon the eastern horizon; the stars fade as the sun ariseth. The waters flow, the earth doth stir to wakefulness. O Sarasvatī, river of wisdom, thou dost nurture all who thirst for knowledge.

Come, all ye deities of the morning! Be present at this sacred rite. We pour the soma, we chant the hymns, we kindle the sacred fire. Bless us with riches, with offspring, with strength. Make our voices sweet in the singing of thy praises.
