Come now, O All-Gods, unto us—ye manifold and infinite. Be seated at this sacrifice; hear all the words that we do speak.

Indra, thou standest first among the gods; thy deeds are sung by all. Agni, thou burnest in our hearts; thy flames do light the way.

The Maruts, mighty in their strength, do follow at thy heel, O Indra. The winds do blow; the thunder soundeth; the lightning teareth through the dark.

O Soma, thou art bright and pure; thou cleansest all that is unclean. Thou makest bold the timid heart; thou givest power to the weak.

O Vayu, gentle breath divine, thou fillest up the earth and sky. Without thee, nothing doth survive; all living things do gasp for thee.

O Mitra, thou art just and true; O Varuṇa, thou keepest law. Together do ye hold the world; together do ye bind the sky.

O Uṣas, rosy-fingered one, thou drawest back the veil of night. Thy light doth touch the mountains high; thy warmth doth bring the world alive.

The Aśvins, twins so swift and keen, ye heal the wound, ye mend the broken bone. Ye guard the travelers on the road; ye bring them safely to their home.

O Apsarases, fair and bright, ye bless the singers with your song. Ye dwell beside the sacred stream; ye know the secrets of the heart.

O All-Gods, mighty and supreme, we worship you this day and night. Accept our praise, accept our gift, and grant to us thy grace for aye.
