O, Lord, we resort to Thee for the supply of foodstuffs and vigour. May the Creator, the fountain of happiness and knowledge, inspire us for the performance of noblest deeds with our organs? May the cows, which should never be killed, be healthy and strong? For the attainment of prosperity and wealth, may the cows be full of calves, free from consumption and other diseases. Maya thief and a sinner are never born amongst us. May the lord of land and cattle be in constant and full possession of these? May you protect the cattle, wealth and progeny of the virtuous soul?

Yajna acts as purifier, makes explicit, true and perfect knowledge, spread in space through the rays of the sun, purifies the air, is the mainstay of the universe, and also adds to our comfort through its exalted office.

The yajna of the Great Lord is the supporter of innumerable worlds and purifies us all. May the Self-Effulgent Lord, lead us aright on the path of virtue.

Vedas are the true source of knowledge and their study enables us to enjoy the full span of life. They contain the detailed instructions concerning various duties.

O Lord, Thou art the dispeller of vices. May Thou punish – the wicked? May Thou deal with the vicious that put the sages to trouble?

O Ye men, increase the store of goods acquired by honest and fair means to be used in the service of humanity. May your life, be constantly dedicated to this principle. May the spiritually minded people, also, not give up this humanitarian work? May your lives be constantly consecrated to the performance of five daily duties? The heat of the sun destroys dirt and fragrance, and draws substances consigned to fire, in their atomic form for the purification of air.

10. ओ३म् दे॒वस्य॑ त्वा सवि॒तुः प्रस॒वेऽश्विनो॑र्बा॒हुभ्यां॑ पू॒ष्णो हस्ता॑भ्याम् । अ॒ग्नये॒ जुष्टं॑ गृह्राम्य॒ग्नीषोमा॑भ्यां जुष्टं॑ गृह्णामि ।। १०।।

In this universe created by the All Effulgent God, I realize the power and influence of the sun and moon feel the inhalation and exhalation of life-giving breath, appreciate the efforts made by the votaries of knowledge for mastering science of electricity. I follow the researches made by the learned in the applications of water and fire.

O learned persons, just as in this world created by God, inhaling and exhaling breaths are purified by the faultless and pure rays of the sun, just as charming and beautiful waters, which run to the ocean and go up in the atmosphere and nourish medicines, are purified by these rays, so do ye perform Homa with pure substances. I always promote this yajna, and sanctify the worshipper with pure mind and strong body, the worshipper full of learning and noble qualities.

13. ओ३म् यु॒ष्माऽइन्द्रो॑ऽवृणीत वृत्र॒तूर्ये॑ यू॒यमिन्द्र॑मवृणीध्व वृत्र॒तूर्ये॒ प्रोक्षि॑ता स्थ । अ॒ग्नये त्वा॒ जुष्टं॒ म्प्रोक्षा॑म्य॒ग्नीषोमा॑भ्यां त्वा॒ जुष्टं॒ प्रोक्षा॑मि । दैव्या॑य कर्म॑णे शुन्धध्वन्देवय॒ज्यायै॒ यद्वोऽशु॑द्धा पराज॒ध्नुरि॒दं व॒स्तच्छु॑न्धामि ।। १३।।

O performers of yajnas, as the sun receives the aforesaid waters and the air to dispel clouds, and absorbs them for the fast moving clouds, hence ye should always perform yajnas.

With the aid of yajnas purify all substances and human beings. Yajnas will remove all your physical and mental defects. I, the Revealer of the Veda, advance this purificatory act of yours.

14. ओ३म् शर्मा॒स्यव॑धूत॒ꣳ रक्षोऽव॑धूता॒ऽअरा॑त॒योऽदित्या॒स्त्वग॑सि॒ प्रति॒ त्वादि॑तिर्वेत्तु । अद्रि॑रसि वानस्प॒त्यो ग्रावा॑सि पृ॒थुबु॑ध्नः॒ प्रति॒ त्वादि॑त्या॒स्त्वग्वे॑त्तु ।। १४।।

May your house be comfortable? It should afford no shelter to the wicked and the uncharitable. May your house serve on as skin of the Earth? May all persons acquire such a house through the grace of God? Clouds receive moisture from forests, reside in the vast space, and receive water from air. May God impart you this knowledge of clouds and building houses. May the learned understand the building of houses, which serve as skin of the earth?

15. ओ३म् अ॒ग्नेस्त॒नूर॑सि वा॒चो वि॒सर्ज॑नं देववी॑तये त्वा गृह्णामि बृहद्ग्रा॑वासि वानस्प॒त्यः सऽइदं देवेभ्यो॑ ह॒विः श॑मीष्व सु॒शमि॑ शमीष्व । हवि॑ष्कृ॒देहि॑ हवि॑ष्कृ॒देहि॑ ।। १५।।

O yajna, thou art the body of the fire. Thou art performed with the recitation of Vedic verses; I perform thee for the acquisition of noble qualities. Thou art a great cloud, the fosterer of herbs, Cleanse this oblation, the assuager of mental pain, for the happiness of the learned Cleanse it well. Those who read and teach the Vedas become acquainted with the Vedic lore, inspiring us for the performance of yajnas.
