The swiftness of ghee evenly always increasing the year with oblation—be our hearing, sight, breath unsevered; unsevered be we from life-time, from splendor.

For various blessings
The swiftness of ghee evenly always increasing the year with oblation—be our hearing, sight, breath unsevered; unsevered be we from life-time, from splendor.
Let breath call unto us; we call unto breath; the earth, the atmosphere hath seized (grah) splendor; splendor [also] Soma, Bṛihaspati, the maintainer.
Heaven-and-earth have become joint-seizers of splendor; seizing splendor may we go about upon the earth; with glory the kine, coming, wait upon (upa-sthā) the lord of kine; seizing glory may we go about upon the earth.
Make ye a pen (vrajá), for that is men-protecting for you; sew ye coats-of-mail (várman), abundant, broad; make ye strongholds of metal, unattackable (ádhṛṣṭā); let not your bowl leak (sru); make it strong.
Of the sacrifice the eye, beginning, and face; with voice, with hearing, with mind do I make oblation; to this sacrifice, extended by the all-working one, let the gods come ⌊ā-i⌋, with favoring minds.
They that are priests (ṛtvíj) of the gods, and that are worshipful, for whom the oblation (havyá) is made the portion—coming to this sacrifice together with their spouses, let the gods, as many as they are (yā́vant), revel on the oblation.
