1

Hurry to us from afar, O Vṛtra-slayer, from near, To meet the offering to the meath.

2

Strong are the Soma drinks; come close: the juices fill you with delight; Drink boldly, as you always have.

3

Joy, Indra, in the nourishing food, satisfy your heart and mind, And make it delightful.

4

Come to us, without a foe, we call you in our praises, In the highest realm of heaven’s light.

5

This Soma here, set out with stones and mixed with milk for your feast, Indra, is offered to you.

6

Graciously, Indra, hear my call. Come and drink the draught, and fill Yourself with blended juices.

7

The Soma, Indra, poured in cups and jars for you, Drink it, for you are its lord.

8

The Soma seen in the jars, as the Moon is seen in the flood, Drink it, for you are its lord.

9

That which the Eagle brought in its talon, unbroken through the air to you, Drink it, for you are its lord.
