समिद्धो अद्य रुद्र शिवतम देवेभ्यो हव्यं वह
प्रजानन्विद्वानृतुशो यजस्व सुवीर्यम्
मा नो हिंसीज्जातवेदो गामश्वं पुरुषं जगत्
अबिभ्रदग्ने आगहि श्रिया मा परिपातय
Samiddho Adya Rudra Shivatama Devebhyo Havyam Vaha
Prajananvidvanritusho Yajasva Suviryam
Ma No Himsijjatavedo Gamashvam Purusham Jagat
Abibhradagne Agahi Shriya Ma Paripataya
Kindled today, O Rudra, most auspicious and benign protector, 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.
