Maghavan, go, and may it be well with you. Ask Dadhyanc, best of sages, whose body is the very stuff of knowledge and vows and austerity: ask him for that body, and do not be slow. That Dadhyanc, whom the two Asvins came to, gave them the undivided Brahman, what is called the Horse-head, and made the two of them deathless. Dadhyanc son of Atharvan gave Tvastr the armour that cannot be pierced, whose substance is myself; and Tvastr gave it to Visvarupa, and from him you got it. Asked by the two Asvins for your sake, that knower of dharma will give his limbs. Out of them Visvakarman will make the best of weapons, and with it, filled out with my own fire, you will take Vrtra's head.

When he is killed you will get back your fire and your missiles and your weapons and your wealth. May it be well with you. And no one harms those who are given to me.
