a For food thee, for strength thee!

b Ye are winds, ye are approachers.

c Let the god Savitr impel you to the most excellent offering.

d O invincible ones, swell with the share for the gods,

Full of strength, of milk, rich in offspring, free from sickness, from disease.

e Let no thief, no evil worker, have control over you.

f Let Rudra's dart avoid you.

g Abide ye, numerous, with this lord of cattle.

h Do thou protect the cattle of the sacrificer.
