Rigveda 1.2.1
Vayu, lord of grace and majesty, come, listen to our prayer, and protect and promote these somas vitalized as nectar and adorned in beauty.
Rigveda 1.2.2
Vayu, lord of life and majesty, the celebrants who know the time and season of yajnic ecstasy, having distilled the soma nectar of life, sing songs of joy in praise of your glory.
Rigveda 1.2.3
Vayu, breath of life and love, your voice of omniscience resounding across heaven and earth overflows like the mother cow for the generous yajnic soul and gives him a surfeit of soma, drink of immortality.
Rigveda 1.2.4
Indra, lord of light, and Vayu, breath of life and energy, distilled are these vital essences with joyous experiments of yajna. They manifest and glorify your divine light and power. Come and bless us.
Rigveda 1.2.5
Vayu and Indra, Lord’s powers of breath and light, you vitalise and illuminate the objects of creation with strength, energy and intelligence. Divinities of creation, come and inspire life and nature farther at the fastest.
Rigveda 1.2.6
Vayu and Indra, divine breath of life and divine light of intelligence, both divinities of nature, inspire the objects of creation with the sap of life. So do they invest the human being with spirit and intelligence and thus accomplish their creative yajna of evolution.
Rigveda 1.2.7
I invoke, with dedication, Mitra the sun, pure, generous and sanctifying, and Varuna, pranic energy of nature, nourishing and immunizing, both divine agents of cosmic intelligence and natural powers of human evolution (in science and art).
Rigveda 1.2.8
By virtue of the divine law, Mitra and Varuna, sun and pranic energy, both extend the operation of the natural law of cosmic evolution and inspire the human intelligence to reach unto divine realisation. They both pervade and energize the mighty yajna of the expanding universe.
Rigveda 1.2.9
Creative, illuminative and inspiring, Mitra and Varuna, sun and pranic energy, like the breath of life, are universally pervasive and mighty potent, and both wield the divine power of versatile action.
