Meaning: I move with Rudras and Vasus, with Adityas and Vishvedevas. Mitra and Varuna, Indra and Agni, I support and the two Ashvinas. I uphold Soma, Tvashtr, Pushan and Bhaga, The wide-stepping Vishnu, Brahma, Prajapati. To the zealous sacrificer offering oblation ANd pressing the Soma-juice do I grant wealth; I am the state, the Bringer of Wealth; Above it all, place I its protector. Who so knows my essence in the water of the inner sea, attains he the Goddess's abode.
