vi. 54- 3. Whoever, both related and unrelated, assails us—every such one mayest thou make subject to me, the sacrificer, the soma-presser.

1. The many paths, traveled by the gods, that go between heaven-and-earth—whichever of them shall carry [one] to unscathedness, to that one, O gods, do ye all here give me over.

2. Hot season, winter, cool season, spring, autumn, rains—do ye set us in welfare (svitá); portion ye us in kine, in progeny; may we verily be in your windless shelter.

3. Unto the idā-year, the pari-year, the sam-year, pay ye great homage; may we be in the favor of these worshipful ones, likewise in their auspicious well-willing.
