अस॒त्सु मे॑ जरितः॒ साभि॑वे॒गो यत्सु॑न्व॒ते यज॑मानाय॒ शिक्ष॑म् । अना॑शीर्दाम॒हम॑स्मि प्रह॒न्ता स॑त्य॒ध्वृतं॑ वृजिना॒यन्त॑मा॒भुम्
asatsu me jaritaḥ sābhivego yatsunvate yajamānāya śikṣam anāśīrdāmahamasmi prahantā satyadhvṛtaṃ vṛjināyantamābhum
In the untrue I have aged; the vigorous force which hastens to the sacrificer is the lesson. I am the giver of undying gifts, slayer, upheld by truth, binding the herd to the earth.
(Indra speaks). Such is my plural asant disposition, worshipper, that I help the instrumental tutor of the rite, whooffers libation; but I am the punisher of him who offers not libations, who disregards the truth, the perpetrator ofsin, the malignant.
THIS, singer, is my firm determination, to aid the worshipper who pours the Soma.
