1To drink the Soma, Agni, come, to our service and our songs.     With all these Gods; and worship them.

2The Kaṇvas have invoked thee; they, O Singer, sing thee songs of praise     Agni, come hither with the Gods;

3Indra, Vāyu, Bṛhaspati, Mitra, Agni, Pūṣan, Bhaga,     Ādityas, and the Marut host.

4For you these juices are poured forth that gladden and exhilarate,     The meath-drops resting in the cup.

5The sons of Kaṇva fain for help adore thee, having strewn the grass,     With offerings and all things prepared.

6Let the swift steeds who carry thee, thought-yoked and dropping holy oil,     Bring the Gods to the Soma draught.

7Adored, the strengtheners of Law, unite them, Agni, with their Dames:     Make them drink meath, O bright of tongue.

8Let them, O Agni, who deserve worship and praise drink with thy tongue     The meath in solemn sacrifice.

9Away, from the Sun's realm of light, the wise invoking Priest shall bring     All Gods awaking with the dawn.

10With all the Gods, with Indra, with Vāyu, and Mitra's splendours, drink,     Agni, the pleasant Soma juice.

11Ordained by Manu as our Priest, thou sittest, Agni, at each rite:     Hallow thou this our sacrifice.

12Harness the Red Mares to thy car, the Bays, O God, the flaming ones:     With those bring hitherward the Gods.
