Translation

Even beyond the heaven, to you who are more mighty; even beyond the all-pervading, to you who are more swift in work; even beyond Vayu, to you who are more grasping of Soma; even beyond Agni, sing to you who are more perfect in the right cutting-out: so may our aspiration rise by ever greater intensities of power and skill in the offering.
