To various divinities: for various blessings
What that is defective (chidrá) of my mind, and what of my voice hath found (? jagā́ma) Sarasvatī enraged, let Bṛihaspati, in concord with all the gods, mend (sam-dhā) that.
Do not ye, O waters, devastate (pra-math) our wisdom nor our bráhman; come ye flowing with easy flow, being invoked; [be] I of good wisdom, having splendor.
Do not ye injure our wisdom, nor our consecration, nor what ardor (tápas) is ours; be they propitious to us in order to [prolonged] life-time; let them become [our] propitious mothers.
That food (? íṣ) O Açvins, which, full of light, shall make us pass through the darkness, may ye give (rā) to us.
