उपास्महे रुद्रं पिनाकिनम् ऋतस्य पथिभिर्धिया
तन्नो देवा अनुमदन्तु यज्ञं सुवीर्यम्
Upasmahe Rudram Pinakinam Ritasya Pathibhirdhiya
Tanno Deva Anumadantu Yajnam Suviryam
With illumined thought along the paths of Cosmic Order we worship Rudra, wielder of the sacred bow Pinaka;
May the Gods rejoice in our sacrifice and grant us heroic spiritual strength.
