ये यज्ञेन दक्षिणया समक्ता इन्द्रस्य सख्यममृतत्वमानश । तेभ्यो भद्रमङ्गिरसो वो अस्तु प्रति गृभ्णीत मानवं सुमेधसः ॥

Those who are anointed by sacrifice and the giving-power (dakṣiṇā), who have attained the friendship of Indra and the state of deathlessness—may good be yours, O Angirases. Receive in return the human being, O clear-intelligence, and take him into your grasp.

य उदाजन्पितरो गोमयं वस्वृतेनाभिन्दन्परिवत्सरे वलम् । दीर्घायुत्वमङ्गिरसो वो अस्तु प्रति गृभ्णीत मानवं सुमेधसः ॥

You Fathers who raised up the wealth that is of the Cow—who by the Truth broke open the enclosing Vala in the round of the year—may long-livingness be yours, O Angirases; receive the human being in return, O clear-intelligence.

Mantra 3

य ऋतेन सूर्यमारोहयन्दिव्यप्रथयन्पृथिवीं मातरं वि । सुप्रजास्त्वमङ्गिरसो वो अस्तु प्रति गृभ्णीत मानवं सुमेधसः ॥

You who by the Truth set the Sun upon his ascent, who spread out the Mother Earth in her wideness—may the state of fair progeny be yours, O Angirases; receive the human being in return, O clear-intelligence.

अयं नाभा वदति वल्गु वो गृहे देवपुत्रा ऋषयस्तच्छृणोतन । सुब्रह्मण्यमङ्गिरसो वो अस्तु प्रति गृभ्णीत मानवं सुमेधसः ॥

This Nabhā speaks the fair and luminous word within your home; O seers, sons of the Divine, listen to that. Let there be for you, O Aṅgirases, a happy and strengthening power of the sacred Word; receive in return the human seeker, O you of good intelligence.

Mantra 5

विरूपास इदृषयस्त इद्गम्भीरवेपसः । ते अङ्गिरसः सूनवस्ते अग्नेः परि जज्ञिरे ॥

Many-formed indeed are those seers, deep in their inner vibration; those are the Aṅgirases, their sons, born all around from Agni—the Fire of the will.

Mantra 6

ये अग्नेः परि जज्ञिरे विरूपासो दिवस्परि । नवग्वो नु दशग्वो अङ्गिरस्तमो सचा देवेषु मंहते ॥

Those who were born from Agni, many-formed, from the wide heaven—now as the Nine-Gvas, now as the Ten-Gvas—he who is most Aṅgiras in essence grows great in union among the gods.

Mantra 7

इन्द्रेण युजा निः सृजन्त वाघतो व्रजं गोमन्तमश्विनम् । सहस्रं मे ददतो अष्टकर्ण्यः श्रवो देवेष्वक्रत ॥

Yoked with Indra, the chanters release outward the pen rich in rays and swift energies. Giving me the thousandfold, the Eight-eared ones fashioned for me a hearing-fame among the gods.

Mantra 8

प्र नूनं जायतामयं मनुस्तोक्मेव रोहतु । यः सहस्रं शताश्वं सद्यो दानाय मंहते ॥

Now let this Manu be born forth and grow like a strong shoot; he who at once increases toward giving the thousandfold and the hundred swift energies.

Mantra 9

न तमश्नोति कश्चन दिव इव सान्वारभम् । सावर्ण्यस्य दक्षिणा वि सिन्धुरिव पप्रथे ॥

None can reach that height, as one would grasp the summit of heaven; the offering-force (dakṣiṇā) of Sāvarṇya has spread wide like a river in flood.

Mantra 10

उत दासा परिविषे स्मद्दिष्टी गोपरीणसा । यदुस्तुर्वश्च मामहे ॥

And even the hostile powers, encircling in their assault, are struck down by our directed vision and our guarding strength; thus we prevail—(over) Yadu and Turvaśa (the resisting formations).

Mantra 11

सहस्रदा ग्रामणीर्मा रिषन्मनुः सूर्येणास्य यतमानैतु दक्षिणा । सावर्णेर्देवाः प्र तिरन्त्वायुर्यस्मिन्नश्रान्ता असनाम वाजम् ॥

Let the thousand-giving leader of the people, this Manu, not be harmed; let his dakṣiṇā come forward striving with the Sun. May the gods of Sāvarṇya extend his life-force, in which, unwearied, we may win the plenitude of power (vāja).
