AV 6 53.1

द्यौश् च म इदं पृथिवी च प्रचेतसौ शुक्रो बृहन् दक्षिणया पिपर्तु । अनु स्वधा चिकितां सोमो अग्निर् वायुर् नः पातु सविता भगश् च

dyauś ca ma idaṃ pṛthivī ca pracetasau śukro bṛhan dakṣiṇayā pipartu | anu svadhā cikitāṃ somo agnir vāyur naḥ pātu savitā bhagaś ca

May Heaven and Earth, the two provident ones, and the bright lofty one, fill this for me through the dakṣiṇā; may Soma, Agni take note of the svadhā-offering; may Vāyu guard us, and Savitṛ and Bhaga.

May Heaven and Earth, wise pair, may lofty Sukra grant me this thing by reason of the guerdon. May Agni, Soma mark through this libation: may Vāyu, Savitar, and Bhaga guard us.

AV 6 53.2

पुनः प्राणः पुनर् आत्मा न ऐतु पुनश् चक्षुः पुनर् असुर् न ऐतु । वैश्वानरो नो अदब्धस् तनूपा अन्तस् तिष्ठाति दुरितानि विश्वा

punaḥ prāṇaḥ punar ātmā na aitu punaś cakṣuḥ punar asur na aitu | vaiśvānaro no adabdhas tanūpā antas tiṣṭhāti duritāni viśvā

Let breath come to us again, let the self come again, let sight come again, let vital force come again; let Vaiśvānara, unbeguiled, protector of the body, stand between (us and) all evils.

Again return to us our breath and spirit, again come back to us our life and vision! Vaisvānara, unscathed, our bodies' guardian, stand between us and every woe and danger!

AV 6 53.3

सं वर्चसा पयसा सं तनूभिर् अगन्महि मनसा सं शिवेन । त्वष्टा नो अत्र वरीयः कृणोत्व् अनु नो मार्ष्टु तन्वो यद् विरिष्टम्

saṃ varcasā payasā saṃ tanūbhir aganmahi manasā saṃ śivena | tvaṣṭā no atra varīyaḥ kṛṇotv anu no mārṣṭu tanvo yad viriṣṭam

We have come together with splendour, with milk, together with our bodies, together with a favourable mind; let Tvaṣṭṛ here make wider room for us; let him smooth out for us whatever of the body has been torn apart.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

We are again united with our bodies, with happy mind, with spirit, strength, and splendour. May Tvashtar here make room for us, and freedom and smooth whate'er is injured in our bodies.
