Whatever [inauspicious marks] are in the line-junctions of yours, in the eyelashes,
and in the whirls—
all of them, by the full oblation,
I pacify for you.

And whatever evil is in the hair,
in the look, and whatever in the weeping—
all of them, by the full oblation,
I pacify for you.

And whatever evil is in the disposition,
in the speaking, and whatever in the laughing—
all of them, by the full oblation,
I pacify for you.

Whatever [inauspicious mark] is in the gaps and in the teeth,
in the two hands, and in the two feet—
all of them, by the full oblation,
I pacify for you.

Whatever [inauspicious marks] are in your thighs, in the lap, in the shanks,
and in the joints—
all of them, by the full oblation,
I pacify for you.

Whatever terrifying things
have been in all your limbs—
by full oblations of clarified butter,
I have pacified all of them.

Firm is Heaven, firm is Earth, / firm is this entire moving world; / firm are these mountains, / firm is this woman in her husband's house.

With the noose of food, with the jewel, / with the spotted cord of vital breath, / with the knot of truth, / I bind your mind and your heart.

That which is your heart, / let that be my heart; / that which is this heart of mine, / let that be your heart.

Food is the tether of vital breath; / therewith I bind you, N.!

Mount the śalmali tree, beautifully formed, of good kiṃśuka flowers, / golden-hued, well-crafted, good-wheeled, / the navel of immortality, O Sūryā; / make a comfortable bridal journey for your husband!

May highwaymen not find [them], / who lie in ambush for the wedded pair. / By safe paths may the two cross beyond the difficult way; / let adversaries run away!

Here bring forth offspring, O cows! / Here, O horses! Here, O men! / And here may Pūṣan sit down, / having a thousand sacrificial fees!

Here is steadfastness, here is self-steadfastness; / here is delight, here find delight! / In me is steadfastness, in me is self-steadfastness; / in me is delight, in me find delight!
