ਤੇਰੇ ਮੁਖ ਤੋਂ ਰਿਚਾਵਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਯਜੁਸ ਦੇ ਮੰਤ੍ਰ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਹਿਤ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਹਨ; ਸਾਮਗਾਨ ਵੀ। ਹੇ ਸਮਰਾਟ, ਤੂੰ ਵਸੁ ਹੈਂ, ਤੂੰ ਅੰਤਰਿਕਸ਼ ਹੈਂ। ਤੂੰ ਯਜ्ञ ਦਾ ਨੇਤਾ, ਹੁਤਭੁਗ (ਆਹੁਤੀ-ਭੋਗਤਾ) ਅਤੇ ਸਰਬ-ਵਿਆਪੀ ਹੈਂ; ਤੂੰ ਰੁਦ੍ਰਗਣ ਹੈਂ, ਅਤੇ ਦੈਤ੍ਯਗਣ ਤੇ ਵਸੁ-ਦੇਵਤੇ ਵੀ ਤੂੰ ਹੀ ਹੈਂ।

Academic Translation

From (your) mouth the Ṛk-verses and the Yajus-formulas are set in motion; the Sāman-chants (too). O sovereign, (you are) the Vasu; (you are) the mid-space. You are the leader of sacrifice, the eater of oblations, and the all-pervading one; (you are) the Rudras, and likewise the hosts of Daityas, and the Vasu(-deities) as well.
