स॒प्त क्ष॑रन्ति॒ शिश॑वे म॒रुत्व॑ते पि॒त्रे पु॒त्रासो॒ अप्य॑वीवतन्नृ॒तम् । उ॒भे इद॑स्यो॒भय॑स्य राजत उ॒भे य॑तेते उ॒भय॑स्य पुष्यतः
sapta kṣaranti śiśave marutvate pitre putrāso apyavīvatannṛtam ubhe idasyobhayasya rājata ubhe yatete ubhayasya puṣyataḥ
Seven (powers) perish in the boy, Marut-like; sons have been born from the father, unrighteous. Both these, both those are of silver; both these push forth from the nourishing one.
The seven (metres) offer laudation to the glorious, the adorable parent, (the Soma), his sons (thepriests) utter his true (praise); you both are lords of both (men and gods), you both exert yourselves and are thenourishers of both (men and gods).
The Seven flow to the Youth on whom the Maruts wait: the Sons unto the Father brought the sacrifice. Both these are his, as his they are the Lords of both: both toil; belonging unto both they prosper well.
