loftiest heaven.
Bright art thou, and refulgent: as thou shinest with splendour
so I fain would shine with splendour.
Lustre art thou, illuming: as thou glowest with lustre so I too
would shine with cattle, with all the lustre of a Brāhman's
station.
Glory to him when rising, when ascending! Glory to him when
he hath reached the zenith!
To him far-shining, him the self-refulgent, to him the Sovran
Lord and King be glory!
Worship to him when he is turning westward, to him when set-
ting, and when set be worship!
To him far-shining, him the self-refulgent, to him the Sovran
Lord and King be glory!

Encompassed by Prajāpati's devotion as shield, with Kasyapa's
bright light and splendour,
Reaching old age, may I made strong and mighty live through a
thousand years with happy fortune.
Compassed am I with prayer, my shield and armour; compassed
with Kasyapa's bright light and splendour.
Let not shafts reach me shot from heaven against me, nor those
sent forth by men for my destruction.
Guarded am I by Order and the Seasons, protected by the past
and by the future.
Let not distress, yea, let not Death come nigh me: with water
of my speech have I o'erwhelmed them.
On every side let Agni guard and keep me; the rising Sun drive
off the snares of Mrityu!
Let brightly flushing Mornings, firm-set mountains, and lives a
thousand be with me united.
