vibhrājamānaḥ sarirasya madhyādrocamāno gharmarucirya āgāt | sa mṛtyupāśānapanudya ghorānihāyuṣe no ghṛtamattu devaḥ ||
Shining forth from the ocean's midst, glowing with sacrificial fire, he has come; driving away the terrible nooses of death, may the god accept this ghee for our long life.
The light of Brahman placed a wondrous, ever-conquering seed of many forms in Brahma's consorts; that golden, sun-like orb we magnify with ghee for long life.
Shri, Lakshmi, Aupala, Ambika, the cow — and Jami as the sixth, whom they call Indrasena; that lore, born of Brahman, we gratify with ghee for long life.
The Dakshayana goddesses of every womb — thousandfold, all-formed and wondrous-formed, with sons, husbands, and hosts — may they enjoy this ghee through our longevity.
The ancient many-formed divine hosts cut lives short and harry our heroes; to them I offer ghee in many ways — harm neither our children nor our heroes.
ekaḥ purastādya idaṃ babhūva yato babhūva bhuvanasya gopāḥ | yamapyeti bhuvanaṃ sāṃparāye sa no havirghṛtamihāyuṣe'ttu devaḥ ||
The One who stood forth in the beginning, from whom came the guardian of the world — the world he attains after departure — may that god accept our ghee-oblation here for long life.
The Vasus, Rudras, Adityas, Maruts and Sadhyas, Ribhus, Yakshas, Gandharvas and all the Fathers, the Bhrigus, serpents and Angirases — having offered ghee, we honor them forever for our long life.
