Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895], at sacred-texts.com
1Dear to all men, all-prosperer, all-creating, may Agni, guard us•
at the morn's libation.
May he, the brightly pure one, give us riches: may we have life
enjoying food together.
2At this our second offering may Indra, Maruts, and Visve Devas
never fail us.
Still may the favour of the Gods be with us, blest with long life
and speaking words that please them.
3We pour this third libation of the Sages who fashioned forth
the cup in proper order.
Winners of heaven, may they, Sudhanvan's children, lead our
fair sacrifice to happy fortune.
