Altars with grass and fuel spread,

Each sacrificial ground, each tree,

Rock, lake, and mountain, prosper thee.

Let old Viráj,[293] and Him who made

The universe, combine to aid;

Let Indra and each guardian Lord

Who keeps the worlds, their help afford,

And be thy constant friend the Sun,

Lord Púshá, Bhaga, Aryuman.[294]

Fortnights and seasons, nights and days,
