उत त्यन्नो मारुतं शर्ध आ गमद्दिविक्षयं यजतं बर्हिरासदे । बृहस्पतिः शर्म पूषोत नो यमद्वरूथ्यं वरुणो मित्रो अर्यमा ॥

Transliteration

utá tyán no mārutáṃ śárdha ā́ gamad divi-kṣayáṃ yájatam bárhir ā́-sáde | bṛ́haspátiḥ śárma pūṣót no yámad varū́thyaṃ váruṇo mitró aryamā́ ||

Translation

And may that host of the Maruts come to us—dwelling in the luminous heights—worthy of our offering, to sit upon the sacred seat of our aspiration. May Bṛhaspati bring us peace; may Pūṣan too guide us; and may Varuṇa, Mitra, and Aryaman grant us a protecting wideness, a sure shelter for the journey of the soul.
