BE gathered all the audience of the synod: let us begin their praise whose course is rapid. Whate'er God Savitar this day produces, may we be where the Wealthy One distributes.

This, dealt from heaven ' may both the Worlds vouchsafe us, and Varuṇa, Indra, Aryaman, and Mitra. May Goddess Aditi assign us riches, Vâyu and Bhaga make them ours for ever.
7.40.3
sed u̱gro a̍stu maruta̱ḥ sa śu̱ṣmī yam martya̍m pṛṣadaśvā̱ avā̍tha |

With offerings I propitiate the branches of this swift-moving God, the bounteous Vishṇu. Hence Rudra gained his Rudra-strength: O Aṣvins, ye sought the house that hath celestial viands.
7.40.6
mātra̍ pūṣann āghṛṇa irasyo̱ varū̍trī̱ yad rā̍ti̱ṣāca̍ś ca̱ rāsa̍n |

Now have both worlds been praised by the Vasishṭhas, and holy Mitra, Varuṇa, and Agni. May they, bright Deities, make our song supremest. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
