To various divinities

What oblation (ā́huti) Atharvan sacrificed first, with what one Jātavedas made an offering, that same do I first call loudly for thee; gratified with that, let Agni carry the offering: hail to Agni.

English · William Dwight Whitney

Heavenly fortunate design (ā́kūti) do I put forward (puro-dhā); let the mother of intent (cittá) be easy of invocation for us; to what expectation I go, be it entirely mine; may I find it entered into [my] mind.

English · William Dwight Whitney

With design to us, O Brihaspati, with design come thou unto us; then assign to us of fortune (bhága); then be easy of invocation for us.

4
English · William Dwight Whitney

Let Brihaspati acknowledge my design, the son of An̄giras this [my] speech; of whom the gods, the deities, came into being, let that desire (kā́ma), well-conducting, go after us.
