May those who stoke the fires, who are your enemies' destroyers and fierce ones in the forest‑dwelling, be worshipped; O long‑lived Dakṣa, rend with force—drink the Soma, the libation, the liquid Soma according to the ṛtu.
May these your bearers, by whom you are borne along, be satisfied; lord of the forest, be firm, doing no injury, steadfast of resolve; come and being gracious, drink, Draviṇodas, along with the Ṛtus, the Soma, the offering of the Neṣṭā.
Fat may the horses be wherewith thou specdest on: Lord of the Wood, unharming, strengthen thou thyself. Drawing and seizing, Bold One, thou who grantest wealth, drink Soma with the Rtus from the Nestar's cup.
