Come ye, O Viśvedevas, to the dwelling of the righteous! We have prepared the altar; we have kindled the sacred fire. The Soma hath been pressed; the hymns are ready to be sung.

We call upon all the gods. The great gods and the small gods, the well-known gods and the obscure ones—come ye all! No god is too mighty to heed the call of his worshippers; no god is too small to be honored.

The sky doth arch above us, holding all the stars. The earth doth lie beneath our feet, supporting all life. And between these two, the gods do work their will, maintaining the order and harmony of all things.

We do give thanks unto the gods for the blessings that have come into our lives. We do ask forgiveness for the times when we have fallen short. We do ask strength for the trials that lie ahead.

Accept this sacrifice, O Viśvedevas! It is offered with a clean heart and sincere devotion. And grant unto us thy protection and thy blessing, now and forever!
