10.66.1
दे॒वान्हु॑वे बृ॒हच्छ्र॑वसः स्व॒स्तये॑ ज्योति॒ष्कृतो॑ अध्व॒रस्य॒ प्रचे॑तसः ।
ये वा॑वृ॒धुः प्र॑त॒रं वि॒श्ववे॑दस॒ इन्द्र॑ज्येष्ठासो अ॒मृता॑ ऋता॒वृधः॑ ॥
I call upon the gods of great fame, for well-being, who make the sacrifice shine, wise ones. The all-knowing immortals, with Indra foremost, grow ever stronger and strengthen ṛta, cosmic order.
10.66.2
इन्द्र॑प्रसूता॒ वरु॑णप्रशिष्टा॒ ये सूर्य॑स्य॒ ज्योति॑षो भा॒गमा॑न॒शुः ।

Sent forth by Indra and guided by Varuṇa, they obtained a share in the sun's light. In the host of the Maruts we hold our thought. Inspired singers brought the sacrifice into being.
10.66.3
इन्द्रो॒ वसु॑भिः॒ परि॑ पातु नो॒ गय॑मादि॒त्यैर्नो॒ अदि॑तिः॒ शर्म॑ यच्छतु ।

May Indra with the Vasus guard our herds all around. May Aditi grant us shelter with the Ādityas. May the god Rudra with the Rudras show mercy to us. May Tvaṣṭar with his wives stir us toward well-being.
10.66.4
अदि॑ति॒र्द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी ऋ॒तं म॒हदिन्द्रा॒विष्णू॑ म॒रुतः॒ स्व॑र्बृ॒हत् ।
दे॒वाँ आ॑दि॒त्याँ अव॑से हवामहे॒ वसू॑न्रु॒द्रान्त्स॑वि॒तारं॑ सु॒दंस॑सम् ॥
Aditi, Heaven and Earth, the great cosmic order, Indra and Viṣṇu, the Maruts, heavenly light, the vast. For help we call the gods and the Ādityas; we call the Vasus, the Rudras, and the bountiful Savitṛ.
10.66.5
सर॑स्वान्धी॒भिर्वरु॑णो धृ॒तव्र॑तः पू॒षा विष्णु॑र्महि॒मा वा॒युर॒श्विना॑ ।

Sarasvān through thought, Varuṇa keeper of the vow, Pūṣan, Viṣṇu, mighty Vāyu, and the Aśvins, who make sacred prayer, immortal and all-knowing, may they grant us threefold shelter from distress.
10.66.6
वृषा॑ य॒ज्ञो वृष॑णः सन्तु य॒ज्ञिया॒ वृष॑णो दे॒वा वृष॑णो हवि॒ष्कृतः॑ ।
वृष॑णा॒ द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी ऋ॒ताव॑री॒ वृषा॑ प॒र्जन्यो॒ वृष॑णो वृष॒स्तुभः॑ ॥
May the sacrifice be showering, and may the gods worthy of sacrifice be showering; the gods who make offerings be showering. May Heaven and Earth, upholders of ṛta, be showering; may Parjanya be showering, and the bull-praised one be showering.
10.66.7
अ॒ग्नीषोमा॒ वृष॑णा॒ वाज॑सातये पुरुप्रश॒स्ता वृष॑णा॒ उप॑ ब्रुवे ।

For the winning of vigor I call upon Agni and Soma, the two bulls, both greatly praised. May the two who were born as bulls for the god-worship grant us a threefold shelter of protection.
10.66.8
धृ॒तव्र॑ताः क्ष॒त्रिया॑ यज्ञनि॒ष्कृतो॑ बृहद्दि॒वा अ॑ध्व॒राणा॑मभि॒श्रियः॑ ।
अ॒ग्निहो॑तार ऋत॒सापो॑ अ॒द्रुहो॑ अ॒पो अ॑सृज॒न्ननु॑ वृत्र॒तूर्ये॑ ॥
Steadfast in their vows, warriors cleansed by sacrifice, of broad radiance, adorning the sacred rites, fire-offering priests, guardians of cosmic order, free from deceit; in the battle against Vṛtra they set the waters loose.
10.66.9
द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी ज॑नयन्न॒भि व्र॒ताप॒ ओष॑धीर्व॒निना॑नि य॒ज्ञिया॑ ।
अ॒न्तरि॑क्षं॒ स्व॑रा प॑प्रुरू॒तये॒ वशं॑ दे॒वास॑स्त॒न्वी॑ नि मा॑मृजुः ॥
Generating Heaven and Earth according to the cosmic laws, and bringing forth waters, herbs, and sacrificial trees; they filled the mid-space and the heavenly light for protection; the gods cleansed and adorned it upon their own bodies.

Sustainers of heaven, the skillful-handed Ṛbhus, Wind and Rain-god, with the thunder of the buffalo-cloud; may the waters and herbs advance for us, may our praises advance; may Bhaga and the bounteous giver, strong in vigor, come to my call.
10.66.11
स॒मु॒द्रः सिन्धू॒ रजो॑ अ॒न्तरि॑क्षम॒ज एक॑पात्तनयि॒त्नुर॑र्ण॒वः ।
अहि॑र्बु॒ध्न्यः॑ शृणव॒द्वचां॑सि मे॒ विश्वे॑ दे॒वास॑ उ॒त सू॒रयो॒ मम॑ ॥
The ocean, the rivers, the realms, and mid-space; the unborn one-footed, the thunderer, the sea; may the serpent of the depths hear my words; may all the gods and inspired seers hear what is mine.
10.66.12
स्याम॑ वो॒ मन॑वो दे॒ववी॑तये॒ प्राञ्चं॑ नो य॒ज्ञं प्र ण॑यत साधु॒या ।
आदि॑त्या॒ रुद्रा॒ वस॑वः॒ सुदा॑नव इ॒मा ब्रह्म॑ श॒स्यमा॑नानि जिन्वत ॥
May we be your devotees for the favor of the gods, O men; lead our sacrifice forward, rightly. O Ādityas, O Rudras, O Vasus, O bounteous gods, stir up these sacred hymns that are being recited.
10.66.13
दैव्या॒ होता॑रा प्रथ॒मा पु॒रोहि॑ता ऋ॒तस्य॒ पन्था॒मन्वे॑मि साधु॒या ।
क्षेत्र॑स्य॒ पतिं॒ प्रति॑वेशमीमहे॒ विश्वा॑न्दे॒वाँ अ॒मृताँ॒ अप्र॑युच्छतः ॥
I walk well along the path of cosmic order, with the two divine invokers and the first priests. We beseech the lord of the field, the lord of the neighbouring dwelling, and all the immortal gods, who withhold nothing.

The Vasiṣṭhas, like fathers, shaped speech, praising the gods, like seers for well-being. As pleased kinsmen come to fulfil desire, so, O gods, shake down wealth upon us.

दे॒वान्वसि॑ष्ठो अ॒मृता॑न्ववन्दे॒ ये विश्वा॒ भुव॑ना॒भि प्र॑त॒स्थुः ।

Vasiṣṭha paid homage to the immortal gods who stand firm in all the worlds. May they grant us wealth, widely praised, today; and may you always protect us with blessings.
