AV 3 22.1

हस्तिवर्चसं प्रथतां बृहद् यशो अदित्या यत् तन्वः संबभूव । तत् सर्वे सम् अदुर् मह्यम् एतद् विश्वे देवा अदितिः सजोषाः

hastivarcasaṃ prathatāṃ bṛhad yaśo adityā yat tanvaḥ saṃbabhūva | tat sarve sam adur mahyam etad viśve devā aditiḥ sajoṣāḥ

Let the elephant's splendour spread, (and) the great glory that arose from Aditi's body. All of them gave that to me together, all the gods and Aditi, of one accord.

AV 3 22.3

येन हस्ती वर्चसा संबभूव येन राजा मनुष्येस्व् अप्स्व् अन्तः । येन देवा देवताम् अग्र आयन् तेन माम् अद्य वर्चसाग्ने वर्चस्विनं कृणु

With what splendour the elephant came into being, with which the king (came into being) among men (and) within the waters, with which the gods went at first to godhead — with that splendour, Agni, make me full of splendour today.

AV 3 22.4

यत् ते वर्चो जातवेदो बृहद् भवत्य् आहुतेः । यावत् सूर्यस्य वर्च आसुरस्य च हस्तिनः । तावन् मे अश्विना वर्च आ धत्तां पुष्करस्रजा

yat te varco jātavedo bṛhad bhavaty āhuteḥ | yāvat sūryasya varca āsurasya ca hastinaḥ | tāvan me aśvinā varca ā dhattāṃ puṣkarasrajā

The splendour of yours, Jātavedas, which becomes great from the oblation; as much as the splendour of the sun and of the asura-like elephant — so much splendour let the two Aśvins, wreathed with lotus, set in me.

As far as the four directions, as far as the eye reaches — so much let power come together in me, that elephant-splendour.

For the elephant has become the one standing above the beasts that sit at ease. With his fortune and his splendour I sprinkle myself.
