1

Swift Soma drops have flowed in streams of mead, the joyous drink, For all kinds of sacred knowledge.

2

Hither to a new resting-place the ancient Living Ones have come. They made the Sun so he might shine.

3

O Pavamana, grant us the wealth of the uninvited foe, And give us sustenance with offspring.

4

The living Somas purified diffuse exhilarating drink, Turned to the vat that drips with mead.

5

Soma flows on wise, endowed with sap and mighty strength, Brave Hero who repels the curse.

6

For Indra, Soma! You are cleansed, a feast-companion for the gods: Indra, you will gladly win us strength.

7

When he has drunk this draught, Indra smites down resolute foes: Yes, he smites them, and will smite them still.
