अस॑श्चन्ती॒ भूरि॑धारे॒ पय॑स्वती घृ॒तं दु॑हाते सु॒कृते॒ शुचि॑व्रते | राज॑न्ती अ॒स्य भुव॑नस्य रोदसी अ॒स्मे रेत॑: सिञ्चतं॒ यन्मनु॑र्हितम् ||

The Everlasting Pair, with full streams, rich in milk, in their pure rule pour fatness for the pious man. Ye who are Regents of this world, O Earth and Heaven, pour into us the genial flow that prospers meit.

Enclosed in fatness, Heaven and Earth are bright therewith: they mingle with the fatness which they still increase. Wide, broad, set foremost at election of the priest, to them the singers pray for bliss to further them.

मधु॑ नो॒ द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी मि॑मिक्षतां मधु॒श्चुता॑ मधु॒दुघे॒ मधु॑व्रते | दधा॑ने य॒ज्ञं द्रवि॑णं च दे॒वता॒ महि॒ श्रवो॒ वाज॑म॒स्मे सु॒वीर्य॑म् ||

ऊर्जं॑ नो॒ द्यौश्च॑ पृथि॒वी च॑ पिन्वतां पि॒ता मा॒ता वि॑श्व॒विदा॑ सु॒दंस॑सा | सं॒र॒रा॒णे रोद॑सी वि॒श्वश॑म्भुवा स॒निं वाजं॑ र॒यिम॒स्मे समि॑न्वताम् ||

May Heaven and Earth make food swell plenteously for us, all-knowing Father, jother, wondrous in their works. Pouring out bounties, may, in union, both the Worlds, all beneficial, send us gain, and power, and wealth.
