1

GIVING birth to the Sun in floods, giving birth to heaven’s lights, green-hued, Born in the waters and the milk,

2

According to the ancient plan, this Soma, with his flow, dispenses Purely, a God for Gods.

3

For him victorious, grown great, the juices with a thousand powers Are purified for victory’s gain.

4

Pouring out the ancient fluid, he is filtered through the cleanser: He, thundering, has created the Gods.

5

Soma, as it purifies, sends here everything we desire, It sends the Gods who uphold the Law.

6

Soma, flowing forth, pour on us wealth in cattle, in heroes, horses, and spoils, Send us an abundance of food.
