1O INDRA drink the Soma juice with Ṛtu; let the cheering drops     Sink deep within, which settle there.

2Drink from the Purifier's cup, Maruts, with Ṛtu; sanctify     The rite, for ye give precious gifts.

3O Neṣṭar, with thy Dame accept our sacrifice; with Ṛtu drink,     For thou art he who giveth wealth.

4Bring the Gods, Agni; in the three appointed places set them down:     Surround them, and with Ṛtu drink.

5Drink Soma after the Ṛtus, from the Brāhmaṇa's bounty: undissolved,     O Indra, is thy friendship's bond.

6Mitra, Varuṇa, ye whose ways are firm—a Power that none deceives—,     With Ṛtu ye have reached the rite.

7The Soma-pressers, fain for wealth, praise the Wealth-giver in the rite,     In sacrifices praise the God.

8May the Wealth-giver grant to us riches that shall be far renowned.     These things we gain, among the Gods.

9He with the Ṛtu fain would drink, Wealth-giver, from the Neṣṭar's bowl.     Haste, give your offering, and depart.

10As we this fourth time, Wealth-giver, honour thee with the Ṛtus, be     A Giver bountiful to us.

11Drink ye the meath, O Aśvins bright with flames, whose acts are pure, who with     Ṛtus accept the sacrifice.

12With Ṛtu, through the house-fire, thou, kind Giver, guidest sacrifice:     Worship the Gods for the pious man.
