1

WITH all helpers, Agni, come hither to drink the Soma-juice; With Gods to our sacred offerings.

2

Come to the sacrifice, O you whose paths are straight, whose laws are just, And drink the draught with Agni’s tongue.

3

O Singer, with the singers, O Gracious, with those who move at dawn, Come to the Soma-drink with Gods.

4

To Indra and Vāyu dear, this Soma, by the mortar pressed, Is now poured forth to fill the jar.

5

Vāyu, come hither to the feast, well-pleased to our sacred gifts: Drink of the Soma juice effused, come to the food.

6

You, Indra, Vāyu, well deserve to drink the juices pressed by us. Accept them gladly, spotless pair, come to the food.

7

For Indra and Vāyu, pressed are Soma juices blended with curd, As rivers to the lowland flow: come to the food.

8

Associate with all the Gods, come, with the Aśvins and Dawn, Agni, as erst with Atri, so enjoy the juice.

9

Associate with Varuṇa, with Mitra, Soma, Viṣṇu, come, Agni, as erst with Atri, so enjoy the juice.

10

Associate with Vasus, with Ādityas, Indra, Vāyu, come, Agni as erst with Atri, so enjoy the juice.

11

May Bhaga and the Aśvins grant us health and wealth, and Goddess Adid and him who none resists. The Asura Pūṣan grant us all prosperity, and Heaven and Earth most wise vouchsafe us happiness.

12

Let us seek prosperity from Vāyu, and Soma, Lord of all the world, for well-being; For well-being, Brihaspathi with all his company. May the Ādityas bring us health and happiness.

13

May all the Gods, may Agni the benevolent, God of all men, be with us for our well-being. Help us the Ṛbhus, the Divine Ones, for our good. May Rudra bless and keep us from calamity.

14

Prosper us, Mitra, Varuṇa. O wealthy Pathya, prosper us. Indra
