उपास्महे रुद्रं आर्द्रानक्षत्रपतिम् ऋतस्य पथिभिर्धिया
तन्नो देवा अनुमदन्तु यज्ञं सुवीर्यम्
Upasmahe Rudram Ardranakshatrapatim Ritasya Pathibhirdhiya
Tanno Deva Anumadantu Yajnam Suviryam
With illumined thought along the paths of Cosmic Order we worship Rudra, presiding lord of the asterism Ardra;
May the Gods rejoice in our sacrifice and grant us heroic spiritual strength.
