यथा वृक्षम् अशनिर् विश्वाहा हन्त्य् अप्रति । एवाहम् अद्य कितवान् अक्षैर् बध्यासम् अप्रति

yathā vṛkṣam aśanir viśvāhā hanty aprati | evāham adya kitavān akṣair badhyāsam aprati

As the thunderbolt strikes the tree at all times without resistance, so may I today strike down the gamblers with the dice, without resistance.

ईडे अग्निं स्वावसुं नमोभिर् इह प्रसक्तो वि चयत् कृतं नः । रथैर् इव प्र भरे वाजयद्भिः प्रदक्षिणं मरुतां स्तोमम् ऋध्याम्

I praise Agni, rich in his own goods, with obeisances; here, being attached (to us), may he pick out the winning throw for us. As with chariots seeking the prize I bring forward (my song); may I accomplish the rightward praise of the Maruts.

AV 7 50.6

उत प्रहाम् अतिदीवा जयति कृतम् इव श्वघ्नी वि चिनोति काले । यो देवकामो न धनम् रुणद्धि सम् इत् तं रायः सृजति स्वधाभिः

uta prahām atidīvā jayati kṛtam iva śvaghnī vi cinoti kāle | yo devakāmo na dhanam ruṇaddhi sam it taṃ rāyaḥ sṛjati svadhābhiḥ

And the over-player wins the stake, as (one wins) the kṛta throw; the gambler picks out (his cast) at the right moment. He who, loving the gods, does not hold back his wealth — riches do the (gods) pour out upon him by their own powers.

With cows may we cross over ill-faring destitution, or with barley over hunger, O much-invoked one, (we) all. May we, unharmed, be first to win prizes among kings, by our (own) resources.
