उ॒त व्र॒तानि॑ सोम ते॒ प्राहं मि॑नामि पा॒क्या॑ । अधा॑ पि॒तेव॑ सू॒नवे॒ वि वो॒ मदे॑ मृ॒ळा नो॑ अ॒भि चि॑द्व॒धाद्विव॑क्षसे
uta vratāni soma te prāhaṃ mināmi pākyā adhā piteva sūnave vi vo made mṛḷā no abhi cidvadhādvivakṣase
I declare your observances, O Soma, and the rites for men and for sacrifice. Like a father for a son you bestow; in your bounty strike down our foes and grant us life and strength.
Verily, Soma, I practise all your observances with fullness; and as a father to his son, so do you inyour exhilaration make us happy; protect us from being killed (by our enemies); for you are mighty.
Even if, O Soma, I neglect thy laws through my simplicity, Be gracious-at your glad carouse-as sire to son. Preserve us even from slaughter. T'hou. art waxing great.
