2Like a capacious car hath it been harnessed, the Mighty; to acquire abundant treasures. Then in the sacrifice they celebrated all triumphs won by Nahus −n the battle.

3Like Vayu with his team, moving at pleasure, most gracious when invoked like both Nasatyas, Thou art thyself like the Wealth−Giver, Soma! who grants all boons, like song−inspiring Pusan.

4Like Indra who hath done great deeds, thou, Soma, art slayer of the Vrtras, Fort−destroyer. Like Pedu's horse who killed the brood of serpents, thus thou, O Soma, slayest every Dasyu.

5Like Agni loosed amid the forest, fiercely he winneth splendour in the running waters. Like one who fights, the roaring of the mighty, thus Soma Pavamana sends his current.

6These Somas passing through the fleecy filter, like rain descending from the clouds of heaven, Have been effused and poured into the beakers, swiftly like rivers running lowly seaward.

7Flow onward like the potent band of Maruts, like that Celestial Host whom none revileth. Quickly be gracious unto us like waters, like sacrifice victorious, thousand−fashioned.

8Thine are King Varuna's eternal statutes, lofty and deep, O Soma, is thy glory. All−pure art thou like Mitra the beloved, adorable, like Aryaman, O Soma.
