1

Were not the gods before, blameless, whose joy increased by worship? For Vāyu and man in his distress, they made the Dawn rise with Sūrya.

2

Fortunate guardians, eager as messengers, protect us safely through many months and seasons. To you, our fair praise, Indra-Vāyu, we beseech your favor and renewed well-being.

3

Wise, bright, arranging his teams, he seeks men with plenty, whose treasures are abundant. They have united them with Vāyu; men have performed all noble deeds.

4

As far as native power and strength allow, so far as men see with eyes that have sight, O you pure-drinkers, drink with us pure Soma; sit on this sacred grass, Indra and Vāyu.

5

Driving down teams bearing lovely heroes, hitherward, Indra-Vāyu, come together. Offered this finest flavor, come here, O Indra and Vāyu, and drink, O heroes of the mead we offer.

6

Your hundred and thousand teams, O Indra and Vāyu, all munificent, which attend you, With these most gracious minds, come hither, and drink, O heroes of the mead we offer.

7

Like couriers seeking fame, we Vasisthas, O Indra-Vāyu, with our fair praises, Exert all our might, call you to aid us. Preserve us always, gods, with blessings.
