1

HERE IS SOMA, UNRESTRICTED, ACTIVE, ALL-CONQUERING, Bursting Forth, Rishi and Sage by Wisdom,

2

All That Is Bare He Covers Over, All That Is Sick He Cures; The Blind Man Sees, The Cripple Walks.

3

Thou, Soma, Givest Wide Defense Against the Hate of Alien Men, Hatreds That Waste and Weaken Us.

4

Thou By Thine Insight and Thy Skill, Impetuous One, From Heaven and Earth Drive The Sinner’s Enmity.

5

When To Their Task They Come With Zeal, May They Obtain the Giver’s Grace, And Satisfy His Wish Who Thirsts.

6

So May He Find What Erst Was Lost, So May Be Speed the Pious Man, And Lengthen His Remaining Life.

7

Gracious, Displaying Tender Love, Unconquered, Gentle in Thy Thoughts, Be Sweet, O Soma, To Our Heart.

8

O Soma, Terrify Us Not; Strike Us Not with Alarm, O King: Wound Not Our Heart with Dazzling Flame.

9

When In My Dwelling-Place I See the Wicked Enemies of Gods, King, Chase Their Hatred Far Away, Thou Bounteous One, Dispel Our Foes.
