'Towards you [I summon] strength that brings delight,'
for the breaths are strength;
he thus placed the breaths into him.
'Today we choose the conveyer of oblations,
protecting, much-desired, pleasant, choice, wise, insightful;
protecting, much-desired, wealth, thoughtful, O one of good skill, extend [life];
protecting, much-desired.'
Man indeed is protected;
thereby he then revived him.
This is a sāman that is a medicine, an expiation.
He indeed made that a medicine, an expiation.
They make a medicine, an expiation with this.
And it is a obtainer of desires.
For he desired this desire;
that desire of his was fulfilled.
Whatever desire one has when praising with this sāman, that desire of his is fulfilled.
