On the forward road of the roads hath Pūshan been born, on the forward road of heaven, on the forward road of the earth; unto both the dearest stations, both hither and yon, goeth he, foreknowing.
7.9.2
pūṣémā́ ā́śā ánu veda sárvāḥ só asmā́m̐ ábhayatamena neṣat |
svastidā́ ā́ghr̥ṇiḥ sárvavīró 'prayuchan purá etu prajānán ||2||
Pūshan knows throughout all these places; he shall conduct us by that which is most free from fear; giving well-being, glowing, preserving heroes, let him go before unremitting, foreknowing.

O Pūshan, in thy sphere (vratá) may we at no time soever be harmed; thy praisers are we here.

Let Pūshan place about his right hand in front; let him drive back to us what is lost; may we be united with what is lost.
