May students of sacred knowledge (*brahmacārin*) come unto me! Hail!
May students of sacred knowledge come apart unto me! Hail!
May students of sacred knowledge come forth unto me! Hail!
May students of sacred knowledge subdue themselves! Hail!
May students of sacred knowledge tranquillize themselves! Hail!

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

1. He who is pre-eminent among the Vedic hymns (*chandas*), who is the all-formed (*viśva-rūpa*),
Who has sprung into being from immortality above the Vedic hymns—
Let this Indra save (√*spṛ*) me with intelligence!
O God (*deva*), I would become possessor of immortality!
May my body be very vigorous!
May my tongue be exceeding sweet!
May I hear abundantly with my ears!
Thou art the sheath of Brahma,
With intelligence covered o’er!
Guard for me what I have heard!
[It is Prosperity] who brings, extends,
And long makes her own—
My garments and cows,
And food and drink alway.
Therefore bring me prosperity (*śrī*)
In wool, along with cattle!
Hail!
