O ye All-gods, that he may win old age.

make thee full of life. Soma is full of life; he is (full) through the plants;
the sacrifice is full of life; it is (full) through the sacrificial fees; the
Brahman is full of life; that is full of life through the Brahmans; the gods
are full of life; they are (full of life) through the ambrosia; the Pitrs are
full of life; they are full of life through the Svadha-call with this life I
