Come ye, O gods, we call you all unto this rite, ye dwellers in the heaven and ye who dwell on earth. Approach the offering made with care, the soma pressed with hands of faith.

Grant us protection from all harm and from the evil deeds of foes. Defend us from the curse and from the witches' spell. Ye Viśvedevas, shield us well and keep us safe.

The sin and stain of every wrong—O gods, remove it far from us. Make clean our hearts and minds and souls that we may stand before you pure and spotless as the morning light.

Ye holy ones, ye mighty ones, ye gods both great and small, send down your blessings on us all, and grant us wealth and peace. Let not our enemies prevail, let not the wicked ones gain ground.

O Viśvedevas, manifest your power and your grace, that all the world may know how great ye are, how just, how full of mercy and of love. For you do sit upon the throne of truth eternal.
