1
O INDRA drink the Soma juice with Rtu; let the cheering drops
Sink deep
within, which settle there.
2
Drink from the Purifier's cup, Maruts, with Rtu; sanctify
The rite,
for ye give precious gifts.
3
O Nestar, with thy Dame accept our sacrifice; with Rtu drink,
For thou
art he who giveth wealth.
4
Bring the Gods, Agni; in the three appointed places set them down:
Surround
them, and with Rtu drink.
5
Drink Soma after the Rtus, from the Brahmana's bounty: undissolved,
O Indra, is
thy friendship's bond.
6
Mitra, Varuna, ye whose ways are firm - a Power that none deceives -,
With Rtu ye
have reached the rite.
7
The Soma-pressers, fain for wealth, praise the Wealth-giver in the rite,
In
sacrifices praise the God.
8
May the Wealth-giver grant to us riches that shall be far renowned.
These
things we gain, among the Gods.
9
He with the Rtu fain would drink, Wealth-giver, from the Nestar's bowl.
Haste, give
your offering, and depart.
10
As we this fourth time, Wealth-giver, honour thee with the Rtus, be
A Giver
bountiful to us.
11
Drink ye the meath, O Asvins bright with flames, whose acts are pure. who with
Rtus accept
the sacrifice.
12
With Rtu, through the house-fire, thou, kind Giver, guidest sacrifice:
Worship the
Gods for the pious man.
