त्वं हि न॑स्त॒न्वः॑ सोम गो॒पा गात्रे॑गात्रे निष॒सत्था॑ नृ॒चक्षाः॑ । यत्ते॑ व॒यं प्र॑मि॒नाम॑ व्र॒तानि॒ स नो॑ मृळ सुष॒खा दे॑व॒ वस्यः॑
tvaṃ hi nastanvaḥ soma gopā gātregātre niṣasatthā nṛcakṣāḥ yatte vayaṃ pramināma vratāni sa no mṛḷa suṣakhā deva vasyaḥ
You, Soma, in our bodies are the protector of cows, seat by seat; men looked upon you. Whatever vows we have sown for you, may you, O nurturer, grant us joy and abundant wealth.
O Soma, you are the guardian of our bodies, you dwell in each limb as the beholder of man; though weimpair your rites, yet, divine one, bless us, you who are possessed of most excellent food and good friends.
For thou hast settled in each joint, O Soma, aim of men's eyes and guardian of our bodies. When we offend against thine holy statutes, as a kind Friend, God, best of all, be gracious.
