apa tyā asthuranirā amīvā niratrasantamiṣīcīrabhaiṣuḥ ā somo asmām̐ aruhadvihāyā aganma yatra pratiranta āyuḥ
May offspring be firm as mountain-pillars, like an enduring river—O Soma, mount up upon us; come to the place of fire where life is warded and abide.
May those irremovable sicknesses depart; let those strong (pains) which have made us tremble, beafraid; the mighty Soma has climbed into us, we have attained that (draught) by which men prolong life.
Our maladies have lost their strength and vanished: they feared, and passed away into the darkness. Soma hath risen in us, exceeding mighty, and we are come where men prolong existence. 12, Fathers, that Indu which our hearts have drunken, Immortal in himself, hath entered mortals. So let us serve this Soma with oblation, and rest securely in his grace and favour.
