Thee let the people (víças) choose unto kingship (rājyà), thee these five divine directions; rest (çri) at the summit of royalty, at the pinnacle (kakúd); from thence, formidable, share out good things to us.

This verse is not included in this edition.

Unto thee let thy fellows come, calling [thee]; Agni shall go along as speedy messenger; let the wives, the sons, be well-willing; thou, formidable, shalt see arrive (prati-paç) much tribute.

adhā mano vasudeyāya kṛṇuṣva tato na ugro vi bhajā vasūni

Let the (two) Açvins thee first,—let Mitra-and-Varuṇa both, let all the gods, the Maruts, call thee; then put (kṛ) thy mind unto the giving of good things; from thence, formidable, share out good things to us.

ā pra drava paramasyāḥ parāvataḥ śive te dyāvāpṛthivī ubhe stām tad ayaṃ rājā varuṇas tathāha sa tvāyam ahvat sa upedam ehi

Run forth hither from the furthest distance; propitious to thee be heaven-and-earth both; king Varuṇa here saith this thus; he here hath called thee; ⌊therefore (sá)⌋ do thou come to this place.

indrendra manuṣyāḥ parehi saṃ hy ajñāsthā varuṇaiḥ saṃvidānaḥ sa tvāyam ahvat sve sadhasthe sa devān yakṣat sa u kalpayad viśaḥ

Like a human Indra, go thou away; for thou hast concurred (sam-jñā) in concord with the castes (?); he here hath called thee in his own station; he shall sacrifice to the gods, and he shall arrange the people (víças).

pathyā revatīr bahudhā virūpāḥ sarvāḥ saṃgatya varīyas te akran tās tvā sarvāḥ saṃvidānā hvayantu daśamīm ugraḥ sumanā vaśeha

The wealthy roads, of manifoldly various form, all, assembling, have made wide room for thee; let them all in concord call thee; to the tenth [decade of life] abide here formidable, well-willing.
