"For this, ye Lords of ample wealth, bring blessing for our herd, our kine, Our progeny, and plenteous food."

"Ye too unclose to us like doors the strengthening waters of the sky, And rivers, ye who find the day."

"When did the son of' Tugra serve you, Men? Abandoned in the sea, That with winged steeds your car might fly."

"Ye, O Nâsatyas, ministered to Kaṇva with repeated aid, When cast into the heated pit."

"Come near with those most recent aids of yours which merit eulogy, When I invoke you, Wealthy Gods."

"As ye protected Kaṇva erst, Priyamedha and Upastuta, Atri, Sinjara, Aṣvins Twain"

"And Anṣu in decisive fight, Agastya in the fray for kine. And, in his battles, Sobhari."

"For so much bliss, or even more, O Aṣvins, Wealthy Gods, than this, We pray white singing hymns to you."

"Ascend your car with golden seat, O Aṣvins, and with reins of gold, That reaches even to the sky."

"Golden is its supporting shaft, the axle also is of gold, And both the wheels are made of gold."

"Thereon, ye Lords of ample wealth, come to us even from afar, Come ye to this mine eulogy."

"O Wealthy Gods, ye taste and find the brisk and watchful wild beast good. Associate wealth with food for us."

"As such, O Aṣvins, find for me my share of new-presented gifts, As Kaṣu, Chedi's son, gave me a hundred head of buffaloes, and ten thousand kine."

"He who hath given me for mine own ten Kings like gold to look upon. At Caidya's feet are all the people round about, all those who think upon the shield."

"No man, not any, goes upon the path on which the Chedis walk. No other prince, no folk is held more liberal of gifts than they."
