1.187.1

पि॒तुं नु स्तो॑षं म॒हो ध॒र्माणं॒ तवि॑षीम् ।
यस्य॑ त्रि॒तो व्योज॑सा वृ॒त्रं विप॑र्वम॒र्दय॑त् ॥

Now I praise Pitu, the food, that great and mighty ordinance, by whose strength Trita shook Vṛtra limb from limb.

स्वादो॑ पितो॒ मधो॑ पितो व॒यं त्वा॑ ववृमहे ।
अ॒स्माक॑मवि॒ता भ॑व ॥

O sweet Pitu, O honey, O Pitu! We have chosen you; be our protector.

उप॑ नः पित॒वा च॑र शि॒वः शि॒वाभि॑रू॒तिभिः॑ ।
म॒यो॒भुर॑द्विषे॒ण्यः सखा॑ सु॒शेवो॒ अद्व॑याः ॥

O Pitu, come near to us; come auspicious, with auspicious helps. You are the giver of joy, not to be hated, a friend, most gracious, unrivalled.

तव॒ त्ये पि॑तो॒ रसा॒ रजां॒स्यनु॒ विष्ठि॑ताः ।
दि॒वि वाता॑ इव श्रि॒ताः ॥

O Pitu, your juices are spread throughout the worlds, resting in the sky like winds.

तव॒ त्ये पि॑तो॒ दद॑त॒स्तव॑ स्वादिष्ठ॒ ते पि॑तो ।
प्र स्वा॒द्मानो॒ रसा॑नां तुवि॒ग्रीवा॑ इवेरते ॥

O Pitu, those juices of yours that give; O sweetest Pitu, those juices of yours, savoring the sweetness, press forward like vigorous necks.

त्वे पि॑तो म॒हानां॑ दे॒वानां॒ मनो॑ हि॒तम् ।
अका॑रि॒ चारु॑ के॒तुना॒ तवाहि॒मव॑सावधीत् ॥

O Pitu, in you the beneficent mind of the great gods was placed; it was made with fine wisdom, and by your protection he slew Ahi.

यद॒दो पि॑तो॒ अज॑गन्वि॒वस्व॒ पर्व॑तानाम् ।
अत्रा॑ चिन्नो मधो पि॒तोऽरं॑ भ॒क्षाय॑ गम्याः ॥

O protector, though you went beyond the mountains from Vivasvat, still, O sweet one, come back here to us for food.

यद॒पामोष॑धीनां परिं॒शमा॑रि॒शाम॑हे ।
वाता॑पे॒ पीव॒ इद्भ॑व ॥

When we seize the surrounding portion of the waters and the plants, O Vatapi, may you become rich.

यत्ते॑ सोम॒ गवा॑शिरो॒ यवा॑शिरो॒ भजा॑महे ।
वाता॑पे॒ पीव॒ इद्भ॑व ॥

O Soma, when we share with you the cow-headed and barley-headed offerings, O Vatapi, may you become rich.

क॒र॒म्भ ओ॑षधे भव॒ पीवो॑ वृ॒क्क उ॑दार॒थिः ।
वाता॑पे॒ पीव॒ इद्भ॑व ॥

O plant, become karambha; become rich as the wolf and the far-spreading cake; O Vatapi, may you become rich.

तं त्वा॑ व॒यं पि॑तो॒ वचो॑भि॒र्गावो॒ न ह॒व्या सु॑षूदिम ।
दे॒वेभ्य॑स्त्वा सध॒माद॑म॒स्मभ्यं॑ त्वा सध॒माद॑म् ॥

O protector, with words we prepare you like cows as oblations; for the gods we make you a fellow-reveller, for us we make you a fellow-reveller.
