1May Gods release from failing strength, thou Agni, from malignity! I free from every evil, from decline: I compass round with life. 2May Pavamāna free from harm, and Sakra from unrighteous deed. I free from every evil, from decline: I compass round with life. 3Tame beasts have parted from wild beasts, water and thirst have gone apart I free, etc. 4Parted are heaven and earth, and paths turned to each quarter of the sky. I free, etc. 5Tvashtar prepares the bridal of his daughter; then all this world of life departs and leaves him. I free, etc. 6Agni combines the vital airs. The moon is closely joined with breath. I free. etc. p. a103 7The Gods have lifted up with breath the Sun whose might is everywhere. I free, etc. 8Die not. Live with the breath of those who make and who enjoy long life. I free, etc. 9Die not. Stay here. Breathe with the breath of those who draw the vital air. I free, etc. 10Rise up with life, conjoined with life. Up, with the sap of growing plants! I free, etc. 11We as immortal beings have arisen with Parjanya's rain, I free from every evil, from decline: I compass round with life.
