प्र म॒न्दिने॑ पितु॒मद॑र्चता॒ वचो॒ यः कृ॒ष्णग॑र्भा नि॒रह॑न्नृ॒जिश्व॑ना । अ॒व॒स्यवो॒ वृष॑णं॒ वज्र॑दक्षिणं म॒रुत्व॑न्तं स॒ख्याय॑ हवामहे
pra mandine pitumadarcatā vaco yaḥ kṛṣṇagarbhā nirahannṛjiśvanā avasyavo vṛṣaṇaṃ vajradakṣiṇaṃ marutvantaṃ sakhyāya havāmahe
We invoke the gentle father, the speaker whose womb was dark, who freed the people; may he who possesses the strong steed and the thunderous right be our companion, the Marut-like one—let us sacrifice for friendship.
Offer adoration with oblations to him who is delighted (with praise), who, with Ṛjiśvan, destroyed the pregnant wives of Kṛṣṇa; desirous of protection, we invoke, to become our friend, him, who is the showerer (of benefits), who holds the thunderbolt in his right hand, attended by the Maruts.
SING, with oblation, praise to him who maketh glad, who with Rjisvan drove the dusky brood away. Fain for help, him the strong whose right hand wields the bolt, him girt by Maruts we invoke to be our Friend.
