हयो॒ न वि॒द्वाँ अ॑युजि स्व॒यं धु॒रि तां व॑हामि प्र॒तर॑णीमव॒स्युव॑म् | नास्या॑ वश्मि वि॒मुचं॒ नावृत॒॒ पुन॑र्वि॒द्वान् प॒थः पु॑रए॒त ऋ॒जु ने॑षति ||

WELL knowing I have bound me, horselike, to the pole: I carry that which bears as on and gives us help. I seek for no release, no turning back therefrom. May he who knows the way, the Leader, guide me straight.

5.46.2

अग्न॒ इन्द्र॒ वरु॑ण॒ मित्र॒ देवा॒: शर्ध॒: प्र य॑न्त॒ मारु॑तो॒त वि॑ष्णो | उ॒भा नास॑त्या रु॒द्रो अध॒ ग्नाः पू॒षा भग॒: सर॑स्वती जुषन्त ||

O Agni, Indra, Varuṇa, and Mitra, give, O ye Gods, and Marut host, and Viṣṇu. May both Nāsatyas, Rudra, heavenly Matrons, Pūṣan, Sarasvatī, Bhaga, accept us.

5.46.3

इ॒न्द्रा॒ग्नी मि॒त्रावरु॒णादि॑तिं॒ स्व॑: पृथि॒वीं द्यां म॒रुत॒: पर्व॑ताँ अ॒पः | हु॒वे विष्णुं॑ पू॒षणं॒ ब्रह्म॑ण॒स्पतिं॒ भगं॒ नु शंसं॑ सवि॒तार॑मू॒तये॑ ||

Indra and Agni, Mitra, Varuṇa, Aditi, the Waters, Mountains, Maruts, Sky, and Earth and Heaven, Viṣṇu I call, Pūṣan, and Brahmaṇaspati, and Bhaga, Samsa, Savitar that they may help.

5.46.4

उ॒त नो॒ विष्णु॑रु॒त वातो॑ अ॒स्रिधो॑ द्रविणो॒दा उ॒त सोमो॒ मय॑स्करत् | उ॒त ऋ॒भव॑ उ॒त रा॒ये नो॑ अ॒श्विनो॒त त्वष्टो॒त विभ्वानु॑ मंसते ||

May Viṣṇu also and Vāta who injures none, and Soma granter of possessions give us joy; And may the Ṛbhus and the Aśvins, Tvaṣṭar and Vibhvan remember us so that we may have wealth.

5.46.5

उ॒त त्यन्नो॒ मारु॑तं॒ शर्ध॒ आ ग॑मद् दिविक्ष॒यं य॑ज॒तं ब॒र्हिरा॒सदे॑ | बृह॒स्पति॒: शर्म॑ पू॒षोत नो॑ यमद् वरू॒थ्यं१ वरु॑णो मि॒त्रो अ॑र्य॒मा ||

So may the band of Maruts dwelling in the sky, the holy, come to us to sit on sacred grass; Bṛhaspati and Pūṣan grant us sure defence, Varuṇa, Mitra, Aryaman guard and shelter us.

5.46.6

उ॒त त्ये न॒: पर्व॑तासः सुश॒स्तय॑: सुदी॒तयो॑ न॒द्य१स्त्राम॑णे भुवन् | भगो॑ विभ॒क्ता शव॒साव॒सा ग॑मदुरु॒व्यचा॒ अदि॑तिः श्रोतु मे॒ हव॑म् ||

And may the Mountains famed in noble eulogies, and the fair-gleaming Rivers keep us safe from harm. May Bhaga the Dispenser come with power and grace, and far-pervading Aditi listen to my call.

5.46.7

दे॒वानां॒ पत्नी॑रुश॒तीर॑वन्तु न॒: प्राव॑न्तु नस्तु॒जये॒ वाज॑सातये | याः पार्थि॑वासो॒ या अ॒पामपि॑ व्र॒ते ता नो॑ देवीः सुहवा॒: शर्म॑ यच्छत ||

May the Gods’ Spouses aid us of their own freewill, aid us to offspring and the winning of the spoil. Grant us protection, O ye gracious Goddesses, ye who are on the earth or in the waters' realm.

5.46.8

उ॒त ग्ना व्य॑न्तु दे॒वप॑त्नीरिन्द्रा॒ण्य१ग्नाय्य॒श्विनी॒ राट् | आ रोद॑सी वरुणा॒नी शृ॑णोतु॒ व्यन्तु॑ दे॒वीर्य ऋ॒तुर्जनी॑नाम् ||

May the Dames, wives of Gods, enjoy our presents, Rat, Aśvini, Agnāyī, and Indrāṇī. May Rodasī and Varuṇānī hear us, and Goddesses come at the Matrons' season.
