For some one's long life and other blessings

In the sap of what is earthly, O gods, in the strength of Bhaga's self (tanū́)—length of life to this man may Agni, Sūrya—splendor may Brihaspati impart.

English · William Dwight Whitney

Length of life to him assign thou, O Jātavedas; progeny, O Tvashṭar, do thou bestow on him; abundance of wealth, O Savitar ('impeller'), do thou impel to him; may he live a hundred autumns of thee.

3
English · William Dwight Whitney

Our blessing [assign him] refreshment, possession of excellent progeny; do ye (two), accordant, assign [him] dexterity, property (dráviṇa); [let] this man [be] conquering fields with power, O Indra, putting (kṛ) other rivals beneath him.

4
English · William Dwight Whitney

Given by Indra, instructed by Varuṇa, sent forth by the Maruts, hath the formidable one come to us; let this man, in your lap, O heaven-and-earth, not hunger, not thirst.

5
English · William Dwight Whitney

Assign refreshment to him, ye (two) that are rich in refreshment; assign milk to him, ye rich in milk; refreshment have heaven-and-earth assigned to him, [have] all the gods, the Maruts, refreshment [have] the waters.

6
English · William Dwight Whitney

With propitious things (f.) I gratify thy heart; mayest thou enjoy thyself (mud) free from disease, very splendid; let the two that dwell together (? savāsín) drink this stir-about (manthá), putting on [as] magic the form of the (two) Açvins.

7
English · William Dwight Whitney

Indra in the beginning, being pierced, created this refreshment, [this] unaging svadhā́; it is thine here; by it live thou for autumns, very splendid; be there no flux of thee; the healers have made [it] for thee.
