tubhyaṃ hinvāno vasiṣṭa gā apo'dhukṣansīmavibhiradribhirnaraḥ pibendra svāhā prahutaṃ vaṣaṭkṛtaṃ hotrādā somaṃ prathamo ya īśiṣe
May Vasiṣṭha, the singer, strike for you; may men who bestow waters adore; drink Soma, svāhā—called loudly, the sacrifice offered by the priest, the first of libations, which you command.
(The libation) that is being presented, Indra, to you, comprises the (products of the) cow, and he (consecrated) water; and the leaders (of the rite) have expressed it with stones, and strained it through woollen (filters); do you, Indra, who are the first (of the gods), and rule (over the world), drink the Soma offered by the Hotā, and sanctified by the exclamations svāhā and vaṣat.
WATER and milk hath he endued, sent forth to thee: the men have drained him with the filters and the stones. Drink, Indra, from the Hotar's bowlfirst right is thine-Soma hallowed and poured with Vasat and Svaha.
