1.

The lord Eashana who is wearing skin garments,

who wields the bow by name Pinaka, who is the
Bramhan by himself, has created the head (intelligence)
from the life of (praa) Bramham, May he bestow
longevity on us. I offer clarified butter (ghee) to that
lord in worship.
2. Shining forth at the mid of the waters, he has
emerged out of the brilliant heat and lustre. May that
Lord Shiva remove us from the ghastly nooses of the
lord of death. May that lord enjoy the ghee offering and
bless us with longevity herein.
3. The Brahma jyoty has instilled that embryo in the
womb of te Brahma pathini's and which embryo
emerged in many forms; to that Golden egg (Prajapati)
we offer ghee oblation for the sake of winning long life
for us.
.
4. Lakshmi who is auspious, Maubala, Ambika, cow etc.,
are all called as Indra sena (the army of Indra) I worship
her with ghee for the sake of long life and which
Lakshmi is identical with that Brahma vidya born out of
Brahma himself.
5. Those Dakashiyanis who are present every where,
who are generative of thousands and multiple forms,
who are impellers, who are with their sons, with their
husbands who are with their retinue, who are the givers
of long life, may they accept my this ghee offering.
6. Those Ganas of Lord Shiva who are divine, who are
ancient, and who move about in manifold forms and
who are the removers of long life, May they all trouble
our enemies, I offer ghee as oblation to all of them, May
they not give trouble to our people nor to our warriors.
7. The Lord Shiva who remains at the fore front as
leader, who has created the World and from whom the
life has come forth, who is the protector of the whole
universe and into whom all the universal forces merge
in friendship, May that lord enjoy the oblation of ghee
and vigour on us bestow in order to give long life.
8. May we grow prosperous with our own stipulated
long life after offering the ghee oblations to the various
gods : Vasus, Rudras, Adityas, Maruts, Sadhyas, Rubus,
Yakshas, Gandharvas, Pitrus (Departed Father), The
Brughus, The Serpants, Sage Angi Rasa and like wise all
other Gods.'
Here in this Sukta, the Lord Isana is the overlord of
Ayushya of Humans and other beings. It is repeatedly
requested, that the Lord should accept and enjoy the
ghee offerings. In reply, the lord is requested to secure
saftey and health of beings and at the same time extend
blessings for longevity. In the eighth stanza, it is
mentioned that many Gods assist the doings of Rudra
and a synchronised salute to all these is a powerful
activity and our life on earth is a safety and happiness
due to Shiva. Daily recitation is recommended for
strength and vigour also.
