1
To drink the Soma, Agni, come, to our service and our songs.
With all
these Gods; and worship them.
2
The Kanvas have invoked thee; they, O Singer, sing thee songs of praise
Agni, come
hither with the Gods;
3 Indra, Vayu, Brhaspati, Mitra, Agni,
Pusan, Bhaga,
Adityas,
and the Marut host.
4
For you these juices are poured forth that gladden and exhilarate,
The
meath-drops resting in the cup.
5
The sons of Kanva fain for help adore thee, having strewn the grass,
With
offerings and all things prepared.
6
Let the swift steeds who carry thee, thought-yoked and dropping holy oil,
Bring the
Gods to the Soma draught.
7
Adored, the strengtheners of Law, unite them, Agni, with their Dames:
Make them
drink meath, O bright of tongue.
8
Let them, O Agni, who deserve worship and praise drink with thy tongue
Tle meath
in solemn sacrifice.
9
Away, from the Sun's realm of light, the wise invoking Priest shall bring
All Gods
awaking with the dawn.
10
With all the Gods, with Indra, with Vayu, and Mitra's splendours, drink,
Agni, the
pleasant Soma juice.
11
Ordained by Manu as our Priest, thou sittest, Agni, at each rite:
Hallow thou
this our sacrifice.
12
Harness the Red Mares to thy car, the Bays, O God, the flaming ones:
With those
bring hitherward the Gods.
