6. The track (padá) of Idā [is] full of ghee, greatly trickling; O Jātavedas, accept thou the oblations. The cattle of the village that are of all forms—of those seven let the willing stay (ráṁti) be with me.

7. [Set] thou me in both prosperity and abundance; O night, may we be in the favor of the gods.

O spoon, fly away full; fly back hither well-filled; jointly enjoying all sacrifices, bring to us food (íṣ), refreshment (ū́rj).

8. Hither hath come the year, thy spouse, O sole áṣṭakā; do thou unite our long-lived progeny with abundance of wealth.
