1. To this our sacrifice come Rbhu,
Vibhvan, Vaja, and Indra with the gift of riches,
Because this day hath Dhisana the Goddess set drink for you:
the gladdening draughts have reached you.
2 Knowing your birth and rich in gathered
treasure, Rbhus, rejoice together with the Rtus.
The gladdening draughts and wisdom have approached you: send
ye us riches with good store of heroes.
3 For you was made this sacrifice, O Rbhus,
which ye, like men, won for yourselves aforetime.
To you come all who find in you their pleasure: ye all
were-even the two elder-Vajas.
4 Now for the mortal worshipper, O Heroes,
for him who served you, was the gift of riches.
Drink, Vajas, Rbhus! unto you is offered, to gladden you,
the third and great libation.
5 Come to us, Heroes, Vajas and Rbhuksans,
glorified for the sake of mighty treasure.
These draughts approach you as the day is closing, as cows,
whose calves are newly-born, their stable.
6 Come to this sacrifice of ours, ye
Children of Strength, invoked with humble adoration.
Drink of this meath, Wealth-givers, joined with Indra with
whom ye are in full accord, ye Princes.
7 Close knit with Varuna drink the Soma,
Indra; close-knit, ilymn-lover! with the Maruts drink it:
Close-knit with drinkers first, who drink in season;
close-knit with heavenly Dames who give us treasures.
8 Rejoice in full accord with the Adityas,
in concord with the Parvatas, O Rbhus;
In full accord with Savitar, Divine One; in full accord with
floods that pour forth riches.
9 Rbhus, who helped their Parents and the
Asvins, who formed the Milch-cow and the pair of horses,
Made armour, set the heaven and earth asunder,-far- reaching
Heroes, they have made good offspring.
10 Ye who have wealth in cattle and in
booty, in heroes, in rich sustenance and treasure,
Such, O ye Rbhus, first to drink, rejoicing, give unto us
and those who laud our present.
11 Ye were not far: we have not left you
thirsting, blameless in this our sacrifice, O Rbhus.
Rejoice you with the Maruts and with Indra, with the Kings,
Gods! that ye may give us riches.
