1a Thou art the glittering of Soma; as thine may my glittering be.     b Thou art ambrosia; from death protect me.     c From the thunderbolt protect me.     d Propitiated are biting flies.     e Cast away is Namuci's head.     f Soma, king Varuna, and the gods which instigate righteousness, may they instigate thy speech, may they instigate thy breath, may they instigate thy sight, may they instigate thine ear.     g With the glory of Soma I besprinkle thee, with the brilliance of Agni [1], with the radiance of the sun, with the power of Indra, with the strength of Mitra and Varuna, with the force of the Maruts.     h Thou art the lord of kingly powers.     i Protect from the sky.     k Out from below have they come,     Following the serpent of the deep;     On the back of the mountain, the hill,     The ships that pour spontaneously go ever.     l O Rudra, that highest active name of thee, to that thou art offered, thou art offered to Yama.     m O Prajapati, none other than thou     Hath encompassed all these beings;     Be that ours for which we sacrifice to thee     May we be lords of wealth.
