b. For I have heard that ye both are more generous Than a worthless son-in-law or a wife's brother. So with the offering of Soma I make for you, O 1ndra and Agni, a new hymn of praise;
c. O Indra and Agni, ninety forts Of which the Dasas were lords ye overtbrew Together in one deed.
d. This pure new-born hymn of praise this day, O Indra and Agni, slayers of Vrtra, accept with joy [1]. For on you both I call that are ready to listen, You that are ever readiest to give strength to the eager.
e. We thee, O lord of the path, As a chariot to win the prize, Have yoked for our prayer, O Pusan.
f. Lord of each way with eloquence; Driven by love he went to Arka; May he give us the comfort of gold, May Pusan further our every prayer.
g. By the lord of the field As by a friend may we win What nourishes our kine and horses; May he be [2] favourable to such as we are.
h. O lord of the field, the honey-bearing wave, As a cow milk, so for us milk; May the lords of right graciously accord us That which drops honey and is well purified like ghee.
i. O Agni, lead us by a fair path to wealth, O god, knowing all the ways; Keep away from us the sin that makes us wander; We will accord to thee most abundant honour.
k. We have come to the path of the gods To accomplish that which we have power to do; Let wise Agni sacrifice [3], let him be Hotr Let him arrange the offerings him the seasons.
l. What carrieth best is for Agni; Sing aloud, O thou of brilliant radiance. From thee wealth, like a cow, From thee strength riseth forth.
m. O Agni, once more lead us With thy favour over every trouble. Be a broad, thick, wide fortress for us, Health and wealth for our children and descendants. Thou, O Agni, art the guardian of law, Among the gods and mortals; Thou art to be invoked at the sacrifices.
o. If laws of you wise ones, O gods, In our ignorance we transgress, May Agni make good all that, He that knoweth the seasons wherein he may satisfy the gods.
