यथा॒ मनौ॒ सांव॑रणौ॒ सोम॑मि॒न्द्रापि॑बः सु॒तम् । नीपा॑तिथौ मघव॒न्मेध्या॑तिथौ॒ पुष्टि॑गौ॒ श्रुष्टि॑गौ॒ सचा॑
yathā manau sāṃvaraṇau somamindrāpibaḥ sutam nīpātithau maghavanmedhyātithau puṣṭigau śruṣṭigau sacā
As thought is gathered, Soma is poured and Indra drinks in the rite: generous host and skillful guest, abundant in sustenance, bring forth vigor, accompaniment and creative strength.
As you did drink, O Indra, the effused Soma beside Manu, the descendant of Saṃvaraṇa, byNīpātithi and Medhyātithi, by Puṣṭigu and Śruṣṭigu, O Maghavan (so do you drink it here).
OFFER ye up as praise to him that wherein Indra takes delight. The Soma-bringers magnify Indra's great energy with hymns. Good are the gifts that Indra gives.
