b. May Prajapati seat thee on the back of earth, capacious, extending; thou art extent, thou art earth, thou art the world, thou art the earth, thou art Aditi all-sustaining, sustainer of all the world; sustain the earth, make firm the earth, harm not the earth, for all expiration, cross-breathing, up-breathing, for support [1], for motion; may Agni protect thee with great prosperity, with most auspicious covering; with that deity, in the manner of Angiras, do thou sit firm.
c. Arising from every stem, From every joint, Do thou, O Durva, extend us With a thousand, a hundred.
d. Thou that extendest with a hundred, That arisest with a thousand, To thee, O goddess, O brick, Let us sacrifice with oblation.
e. Unovercomable art thou, overcoming, overcome our enemies, over come those that practise enmity.
f. Overcome the foe, overcome the foemen of a thousandfold strength [2] art thou; do thou inspirit me.
g. To the pious the winds pour honey, The streams honey; Be sweet to us the plants.
h. Sweet is the night, and sweet At dawn the air of earth, Sweet be the sky, our father.
i. Sweet to us be the lord of the forest, Sweet the sun, Sweet be the cows to us.
k. May the two great ones, sky and earth, Mingle for us this sacrifice; May they sustain us with support.
l. That highest step of Visnu [3] The singers ever gaze upon Like an eye stretched in the sky.
m. Thou art firm, O earth, Overcome the foemen; Fashioned by the gods hast thou come with ambrosia.
n. Those beams of thine, O Agni, which rising In the sun with rays envelop the sky, With all of them bring us to brilliance, to men.
o. Those flames of yours in the sun, O gods, in cattle, in horses, O Indra and Agni, O Brhaspati, With all of these grant us brilliance.
p. The brilliant [4] bore the light, the shining bore the light, the self-resplendent bore the light.
q. O Agni, yoke, O god, thy good steeds, The swift that readily bear.
r. Yoke, like a charioteer, O Agni, The steeds that best invite the gods Sit down as ancient Hotr.
s. The drop hath fallen on the earth, the sky, On this seat and on the one which was aforetime The drop that wandereth over the third seat I offer in the seven [5] Hotras.
t. There hath come into being this might of all the world, And of Agni Vaievanara, Agni full of light with light, The disk radiant with radiance.
w. For the verse thee, for brilliance thee
v. Like streams the offerings flow together, Purified within with heart and mind; I behold the streams of ghee; A golden reed is there in the midst of them.
w. In it sitteth an eagle, honey-making, nested, Assigning honey to the deities, On its brink sit seven tawny ones, Milking at will the stream of ambrosia.
