     In this kingdom may a prince [who is bent on ruling] be born, an archer [who is able to shoot arrows], a hero [who is bent on excelling in battle], and a great chariot-fighter [who is bent on fighting]; a milk cow who will yield milk; a draught ox [who is bent on plowing]; a swift racer [who is bent on running]; a young woman who is fertile; a victorious warrior [who is bent on winning]; a youth fit for the assembly [who is bent on speaking well]. To this worshipper be a hero born. May Parjanya rain for us whensoever we desire. May our plants ripen with fruit. May peace and prosperity be ours.
