O king, he who uttered the word and begot the people, the bright one, the dweller who approaches the sacrifice — he observes it. He takes up the offering of the sacrificer; purified, he attains the gods, freed from stain.

Apsaras of the ocean, the thoughtful ones, sat within and sprinkled Soma unobstructed. They smite that generous one’s foe; they seek the fleeting portion, the purified and unobstructed Soma.

From the cow-formed Soma come chariots, mighty conquerors in the forest, conquerors by strength, thousand-conquering in the flood. Which the gods made for drinking — the delightful, sweet, flavoring, rosy, wondrously fermented drink.

These Somras, the purifying ones, made truth for us; they performed true rites, O seers. Strike down the hostile ones near and far; may they not harm our flowing herd and fearless prosperity.
