तं नो अग्ने मघवद्भ्यः पुरुक्षुं रयिं नि वाजं श्रुत्यं युवस्व । वैश्वानर महि नः शर्म यच्छ रुद्रेभिरग्ने वसुभिः सजोषाः ॥

táṃ no agne maghávad-bhyaḥ puru-kṣúṃ rayíṃ ní vā́jaṃ śrutyáṃ yúvasva | vaiśvānara máhi naḥ śárma yaccha rudrébhir agne vásubhiḥ sajóṣāḥ ||

Translation

For us, O Agni, yoke in a rich plenitude—abundant in increase—for the bountiful; and a vāja that is heard of, a forceful fullness. O Vaiśvānara, grant us great peace and shelter, together with the Rudras and the Vasus in one accord—establishing a protected wideness for the journey.
