h In the Regis;
i In the Mesis;
k In the roaring (ones);

r Herein the dread (ones) have moved themselves,
The streams of the sky have consorted.

Soma precedeth Soma,
The pure precedeth the pure.
t That undeceived, watchful, name of thine, O Soma, to that of thine, O Soma,
to Soma hail!
u Gladly do thou, O god Soma, go to the dear place of Agni [2] with the Gayatri
metre.

Tristubh metre.
W Our friend, do thou, O god Soma, go to the dear place of the All-gods with

x Come breath to us from afar,
From the atmosphere, from the sky,
Life from the earth;
Thou art ambrosia; for breath thee!
y May Indra and Agni confer radiance upon me,
Radiance (may) Soma and Brhaspati (confer);
Radiance on me the All-gods,
Radiance confer on me, O ye Açvins.
z When one doth hasten after him,
Or uttereth prayers, he doth accept it
All knowledge doth he embrace,
Even as the felly the wheel.
