May all the gods bring us blessings! May the Viśvedevas, the Universal Ones, turn their faces toward us in mercy. We stand as supplicants before the assembled host of heaven. We offer our prayers with humble hearts. We ask not for wealth or dominion, but only for the grace and favor of the divine.
Mitra and Varuṇa, keepers of cosmic order! Vāyu the wind-god! Agni the fire eternal! Soma the divine draught! Sūrya the golden sun! Hear us in our prayer. Thy might is beyond reckoning. Thy wisdom is beyond understanding. Yet thou dost deign to listen to the voices of mortals who dwell below.
Grant us, we beseech thee, health and strength. Grant us long life and prosperity. Keep our children safe from harm. Let sickness pass over our homes. Let our enemies be confounded. Let our crops grow tall and abundant. Let our herds multiply beyond numbering. Let our fires burn bright and warm.
We offer unto thee the finest gifts that we possess. We pour forth our soma. We kindle our flames. We chant our hymns. These are but small tokens of our devotion, yet we do offer them with sincerity and love. In return, we ask only for thy blessing and thy protection.
O Viśvedevas, thou gathered ones! O assembly of gods! Accept our prayers. Hear our voices rising up from this mortal realm. Turn not thy faces from us. Grant unto us thy favor. Be unto us as loving fathers. Watch over us through the nights and days. Guard us from all that would harm us. Make us worthy of thy divine grace and eternal blessing.
