Sanskrit Original
आ वो॒ होता॑ जोहवीति स॒त्तः स॒त्राचीं॑ रा॒तिं म॑रुतो गृणा॒नः । य ईव॑तो वृषणो॒ अस्ति॑ गो॒पाः सो अद्व॑यावी हवते व उ॒क्थैः
ā vo hotā johavīti sattaḥ satrācīṃ rātiṃ maruto gṛṇānaḥ ya īvato vṛṣaṇo asti gopāḥ so advayāvī havate va ukthaiḥ
May he who proclaims “be pleased” be your sacrificer; O Maruts, accept the sacrificial night’s oblation. As a bull endowed with brawn stands, so the herdsmen call him one who sets apart with hymns.
Praising your universal liberality, Maruts, the ministrant priest repeatedly worships you, seated (in thesacrificial chamber); he, showerers (of benefits), who is the guardian of the zealous (worshipper), he (the priest),who is void of insincerity, glorifies you with hymns.
The priest, when seated, loudly calls you, Maruts, praising in song your universal bounty. He, Bulls! who hath so much in his possession, free from duplicity, with hymns invokes you.
