अध्व॑र्यवो॒ यः स्वश्नं॑ ज॒घान॒ यः शुष्ण॑म॒शुषं॒ यो व्यं॑सम् । यः पिप्रुं॒ नमु॑चिं॒ यो रु॑धि॒क्रां तस्मा॒ इन्द्रा॒यान्ध॑सो जुहोत
adhvaryavo yaḥ svaśnaṃ jaghāna yaḥ śuṣṇamaśuṣaṃ yo vyaṃsam yaḥ pipruṃ namuciṃ yo rudhikrāṃ tasmā indrāyāndhaso juhota
The Adhvaryu who struck what was his to eat, who struck the dry and the unripe, who spread the offering — who caused the sprouts to bend and made them grow: therefore Indra, for the blind, offer the sacrifice.
Priests, offer the Soma to that Indra, who slew Svaśna, the unabsorbable Śuṣṇa, and mutilated (Vṛtra), who destroyed Pipru, Namuci and Rudhikrā.
Ye ministers, to him who struck down Svasna, and did to death Vyamsa and greedy Susna, And Rudhikras and Namuci and Pipru,- to him, to Indra, pour ye forth libation.
