2. Ever new art thou, being born; sign (ketú) of the days, thou goest to the apex (ágra) of the dawns; thou disposest their share to the gods as thou comest; thou stretchest out, O moon, a long life-time.

3. O stem of soma, lord of fighters! not-deficient verily art thou by name; make me, O first-sight (darçá), not-deficient, both by progeny and by riches.

4. First sight art thou, worth seeing art thou; complete at point art thou, complete at end; complete at point, complete at end may I be, by kine, by horses, by progeny, by cattle, by houses, by riches.

5. He who hateth us, whom we hate—with his breath do thou fill thyself up; may we fill ourselves up with kine, with horses, with progeny, with cattle, with houses, with riches.

6. The stem which the gods fill up, which, unexhausted, they feed upon unexhausted—therewith let Indra, Varuṇa, Brihaspati, shepherds of existence, fill us up.
