Que aquí los devas, junto con las huestes de ṛṣis, me concedan el éxito. Que el bienaventurado Brahmā, el Swayambhū, y las deidades de las direcciones me lo otorguen. Que Agni y Vāyu, e Indra—Puruhūta, portador del rayo—me den la victoria. Que Varuṇa con el lazo en la mano, y también Soma y Āditya; los grandes Aśvins, los Maruts y Śarva asimismo. Que todos los seres, y el Señor de los seres, e incluso aquellos seres invisibles que se mueven por mi camino, me otorguen el éxito.
May all sages, gods, the self-born Brahma, Wind-god, Indra, the wielder of thunderbolt whose name is invoked in sacrifices, Yama, who carries a rope, Varuna give success and Lord Siva help me. May the Sun, Moon, Aswinis Marutas assist me. May the gods of the quarters and the lord of all beings help me to succeed. May those whom I could not see also bring success to me.
