2.2.1
दिव्यो गन्धर्वो भुवनस्य यस्पतिरेक एव नमस्यो विक्ष्वीड्यः ।
तं त्वा यौमि ब्रह्मणा दिव्य देव नमस्ते अस्तु दिवि ते सधस्थम् ॥ २.२.१ ॥
This heavenly Gandharva is the sole lord of the world, the one alone to be revered and praised among the peoples. O heavenly god, I approach you with the sacred word; homage be to you; your dwelling is in heaven.
2.2.2
दिवि स्पृष्टो यजतः सूर्यत्वगवयाता हरसो दैव्यस्य ।
मृडात्गन्धर्वो भुवनस्य यस्पतिरेक एव नमस्यः सुशेवाः ॥ २.२.२ ॥
Touched in heaven, worthy of sacrifice, sun-skinned, may he of divine splendor come down. The Gandharva, lord of the world, alone is to be revered and most gracious.
2.2.3
अनवद्याभिः समु जग्म आभिरप्सरास्वपि गन्धर्व आसीत् ।
समुद्र आसां सदनं म आहुर्यतः सद्य आ च परा च यन्ति ॥ २.२.३ ॥
With the faultless Apsarases he came together; among these Apsarases there was also the Gandharva. The ocean is said to be their abode, from which they go at once hither and thither.

अभ्रिये दिद्युन् नक्षत्रिये या विश्वावसुं गन्धर्वं सचध्वे ।

O goddesses of the clouds, of lightning, of the stars, who keep company with the Gandharva Viśvāvasu, to you I make homage.

याः क्लन्दास्तमिषीचयोऽक्षकामा मनोमुहः ।
ताभ्यो गन्धर्वभ्योऽप्सराभ्योऽकरं नमः ॥ २.२.५ ॥
Those who are the Klandas (plungers), gatherers of darkness, desirers of dice, who bewilder the mind, to those Gandharvas and Apsarases I have made homage.
