Translation:
Kindled today, O Apah, most maternal nourishers of all life, bear our sacred oblation to the Gods;
Knowing the cosmic seasons, offer worship for our heroic spiritual strength;
Never harm our kine, steeds, people, or the moving world,
But come with fearlessness and encompass us with auspicious prosperity.
