prá nimnéneva síndhavo ghnánto vr̥trā́ṇi bhū́rṇayaḥ |
sómā asr̥gram āśávaḥ ||

1 LIKE rivers down a steep descent, slaying the Vṛtras, full of zeal, The rapid Soma-streams have flowed.

abhí svānā́sa° índavo vr̥ṣṭáyaḥ pr̥thivī́m iva |
índraṃ sómāso akṣaran ||

2 The drops of Soma juice effused fall like the rain upon the earth: To Indra flow the Soma-streams.

átyūrmir matsaró mádaḥ sómaḥ pavítre arṣati |
vighnán rákṣāṃsi devayúḥ ||

3 With swelling wave the gladdening drink, the Soma, flows intoṭhe sieve, Loving the Gods and slaying fiends.

ā́ kaláśeṣu dhāvati pavítre pári ṣicyate |
ukthaír yajñéṣu vardhate ||

4 It hastens to the pitchers, poured upon the sieve it waxes strong At sacrifices through the lauds.

áti trī́ soma rocanā́ róhan ná bhrājase dívam |
iṣṇán sū́ryaṃ ná codayaḥ ||

5 Soma, thou shinest mounting heaven as ’twere above light's triple realm, And moving secm'st to speed the Sun.

abhí víprā anūṣata mūrdhán yajñásya kārávaḥ |
dádhānāś cákṣasi priyám ||

6 To him, the head of sacnfice, singers and bards have sung their songs, Offering what he loves to see.

tám u tvā vājínaṃ náro dhībhír víprā avasyávaḥ |
mr̥jánti devátātaye ||

7 The men, the sages with their hymns, eager for help, deck thee strong &teed, Deck thee for service of the Gods.

mádhor dhā́rām ánu kṣara tīvráḥ sadhástham ā́sadaḥ |
cā́rur r̥tā́ya pītáye ||

8 Flow onward to the stream of meath rest efficacious in thy home, Fair, to be drunk at sacrifice.
