7.44.1
द॒धि॒क्रां वः॑ प्रथ॒मम॒श्विनो॒षस॑म॒ग्निं समि॑द्धं॒ भग॑मू॒तये॑ हुवे ।
इन्द्रं॒ विष्णुं॑ पू॒षणं॒ ब्रह्म॑ण॒स्पति॑मादि॒त्यान्द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी अ॒पः स्वः॑ ॥
For our protection we first call Dadhikra, the Aśvins, Uṣas, the kindled Agni, and Bhaga. We call Indra, Viṣṇu, Pūṣan, Bṛhaspati, the Ādityas, Dyāvāpṛthivī, the waters, and the heavenly light.
7.44.2
द॒धि॒क्रामु॒ नम॑सा बो॒धय॑न्त उ॒दीरा॑णा य॒ज्ञमु॑पप्र॒यन्तः॑ ।
इळां॑ दे॒वीं ब॒र्हिषि॑ सा॒दय॑न्तो अ॒श्विना॒ विप्रा॑ सु॒हवा॑ हुवेम ॥
Honoring Dadhikra and rousing him with homage, raising the sacrifice and drawing near, seating the goddess Iḷā upon the sacred grass, let us call the wise Aśvins, who are readily invoked.
7.44.3
द॒धि॒क्रावा॑णं बुबुधा॒नो अ॒ग्निमुप॑ ब्रुव उ॒षसं॒ सूर्यं॒ गाम् ।
ब्र॒ध्नं माँ॑श्च॒तोर्वरु॑णस्य ब॒भ्रुं ते विश्वा॒स्मद्दु॑रि॒ता या॑वयन्तु ॥
I address Dadhikra, the watchful Agni, Dawn, the sun, and the cow. May the shining base of Varuṇa, the tawny ones, keep all evils away from me.
7.44.4
द॒धि॒क्रावा॑ प्रथ॒मो वा॒ज्यर्वाग्रे॒ रथा॑नां भवति प्रजा॒नन् ।
सं॒वि॒दा॒न उ॒षसा॒ सूर्ये॑णादि॒त्येभि॒र्वसु॑भि॒रङ्गि॑रोभिः ॥
Dadhikra, the foremost swift horse, stands at the front of the chariots, knowing the way. In harmony with Dawn, the sun, the Ādityas, the Vasus, and the Aṅgiras, he goes forth.
7.44.5
आ नो॑ दधि॒क्राः प॒थ्या॑मनक्तु ऋ॒तस्य॒ पन्था॒मन्वे॑त॒वा उ॑ ।
शृ॒णोतु॑ नो॒ दैव्यं॒ शर्धो॑ अ॒ग्निः शृ॒ण्वन्तु॒ विश्वे॑ महि॒षा अमू॑राः ॥
May Dadhikra anoint the path for us, that we may walk the way of cosmic order. May Agni hear our divine strength, and may all the mighty, steadfast heroes hear it too.
