I regard this divine worship as a month to me; Soma I adjudicate. People, not the bow nor waters, increase the sacrificial fires and offerings of rites (yajñas).

The mixed Soma has been prepared for Indra, (to be offered) on the day (of the sacrifice), with reverence-like adoration, when praises, together with offerings, yield him increase, as when water (revives) a man in a desert waste.

As brightness mingles with the Moon in heaven, the offered Soma yearns to mix with Indra. Like water brought to men in desert places, our gifts at sacrifice have still refreshed him.
