2Ye who inspire all hymns, Indra and Visnu, ye vessels who contain the Soma juices, May hymns of praise that now are sung address you, the lauds that are recited by the singers.

3Lords of joy−giving draughts, Indra and Visnu, come, giving gifts of treasure, to the Soma. With brilliant rays of hymns let chanted praises, repeated with the lauds, adorn and deck you.

4May your foe−conquering horses bring you hither, Indra and Visnu, sharers of the banquet. Of all our hymns accept the invocations list to my prayers and hear the songs I sing you.

5This your deed, Indra−Visnu, must be lauded: widely ye strode in the wild joy of Soma. Ye made the firmament of larger compass, and made the regions broad for our existence.

6Strengthened with sacred offerings, IndraVisnu, first eaters, served with worship ana oblation, Fed with the holy oil, vouchsafe us riches ye are the lake, the vat that holds the Soma.

7Drink of this meath, O Indra, thou, and Visnu; drink ye your fill of Soma, Wonder−Workers. The sweet exhilarating juice hath reached you. Hear ye my prayers, give ear unto my calling.

8Ye Twain have conquered, ne'er have yc been conquered: never hath either of the Twain been vanquish ed. Ye, Indra−Visnu, when ye fought the battle, produced this infinite with three divisions.

9Now will I sing a dear and far−extending hymn to Varuna the God, sublime, imperial Lord, Who, mighty Governor, Eternal, as with flame, illumines both wide worlds with majesty and power.

10True to Law, Indra−Varuna, drinkers of the juice, drink this pressed Soma which shall give you raptur ous joy. Your chariot cometh to the banquet of the Gods, to sacrifice, as it were home, that ye may drink.

11Indra and Varuna, drink your fill, ye Heroes, of this invigorating sweetest Soma. This juice is shed by us that ye may quaff it: on this trimmed grass be seated, and rejoice you HYMN LXIX. Indra−Visnu 1. INDRA and Visnu, at my task's completion I urge you on with food and sacred service. Accept the sacrifice and grant us riches, leading us on by unobstructed pathways.
