Whoso hateth us, and whom we in turn do hate—do thou, by vital breath, make him to swell. But may we wax full hitherward with kine, with steeds, with offspring, with cattle, with houses, with treasure.
Quiconque nous hait, et celui que nous haïssons en retour—fais-le, par le souffle vital (prāṇa), enfler, le fais gonfler. Quant à nous, puissions-nous ici croître en plénitude avec des vaches, des chevaux, une descendance, du bétail, des maisons et des trésors.

Devata: Puṣṭi/Prāṇa as prospering power (with implicit adversary-reversal)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable; common for such catalogic blessings)
