1

Bring sacrifices to him, Wise One, for he thirsts for Soma’s drink, The swift-comer who leads the way, the brave one always at the front.

2

Go to him, chief drinker of Soma, with Soma and its juice, With beakers to the Impetuous One, to Indra with the drops bestowed.

3

When you come before the God with Soma and its juice, He knows the hopes of each and, Bold One, strikes down both foes.

4

To him, Adhvaryu! Offer up the juice in sacrifice. Will he not protect us from the scornful curse of every proud high-born foe?
