Drink the sweet ones, the honeyed cups; with songs and oblations bind the joyous chariot. Let the honeyed path encompass the chariot; may the Ashvins bear the course, bringing the strong law.
Drink of the Soma juice, with mouths (fit for) imbibing the beverage; harness your beloved chariot for the Soma juice; (come to the dwelling) of the sacrifice; enliven the path with the Soma; bring, Aśvins, the leather vessels filled with the Soma-juice.
Drink of the meath with lips accustomed to the draught; harness for the meath's sake the chariot that ye love. Refresh the way ye go, refresh the paths with meath: hither, O Asvins, bring the skin that holds the meath.
