1

This pleasing drink, O Indra, we offer you; you are the ruler of cups and nectar. Bestow upon us wealth with many brave sons; you, glowing with passion, won heavenly light.

2

Let us invoke Śakra with this libation, the one who wins with light and delights in potent nectar. Watch over our sacrifice, come to us then; we pray to Maghavan, the conqueror of armies.

3

By the decree of royal Soma and Varuṇa, under Bṛhaspati and Anumati’s protection, Today under your authority, O Maghavan, Creator, Arranger, I have enjoyed the jars.

4

I too, urged on, had my share, in the bowl, and as the first prince, I composed this hymn of praise, When I reached the flowing nectar, O Vīsavāmītra, Jamadagni, to your home.
