1

The glorious drops flow forth for the maintenance of Law, Knowing this sacrifice’s path.

2

In the mighty waters, the stream of mead sinks, most excellent, The best offering of all in worth.

3

Around the holy place, the Steer true, guileless, noblest, sends out Continuous voices in the wood.

4

When clad in manly strength, the Sage flows in celestial wisdom round, The Strong wins the light of heaven.

5

When purified, he sits as King above the hosts, among his folk, When the sages bring him near.

6

Dear, golden-colored, in the fleece he sinks and settles in the wood: The Singer shows his zeal in hymns.

7

He goes to Indra, Vāyu, to the Aśvins, as his custom is, With sweet juice that gives them joy.

8

The streams of pleasant Soma flow to Bhaga, Mitra-Varuṇa— Well-known through his mighty powers. Heaven and Earth, riches of mead to win us wealth: Grant us treasures and renown.
