Whom the fires of the hearths did trouble,
That is their offering to expiate the ill sacrifice
A good sacrifice for us may Viçvakarman make it.
g Homage to the Pitrs, who have watched around us,
Making the sacrifice, loving the sacrifice, the benignant deities;
We have not brought you the offering without desires;
Trouble us not for this sin.
h All those who are in the Sadas must have presents; he who did not [3] give them a present would
fall a victim to them; in that he offers the libations to Viçvakarman, he thus delights those who are
in the Sadas.

i Ye gods, have regard to this wonder,
The good thing which the husband and wife win with the milk admixture;
A male child is born, be findeth riches,
And all the house prospereth unhurt.
k May the husband and wife who give the milk admixture win good;

(Me that am) conquering the fields with might, O Indra,
And casting down my rivals.
n Thou art being, place me in being; thou art the mouth, may I be
the mouth.
o From sky and earth I take thee.
p May the All-gods, belonging to all men [5], move thee forward.
q In the sky make firm the gods, in the atmosphere the birds, on earth the creatures
of earth.
r With the firm offering the firm
Soma, we transfer,
That the whole world may be for us
Free of sickness and of kindly intent;
s That Indra may make
All the clans for us of one mind,
That all the quarters
May be ours alone.
In that the Hotr addresses the Adhvaryu, he makes the thunder bolt advance towards him; 'O reciter
of hymns', he says in response at the morning pressing; the syllables herein are three, the Gayatri

midday pressing is connected with the Tristubh; verily with the Tristubh he places the thunderbolt
within the midday pressing [1]. 'The hymn hath been uttered to Indra', he says in response at the
third pressing; the syllables herein are seven, the Çakvari has seven Padas, the thunder bolt is
