Mothers move about, bestowing life; waters, the wise one, pour with sacrifice at the foot. He drank the ray like the sun; from men the streams bring forth offspring, and the head is protected.

The wise (Soma) wandering through the two worlds, sending forth the waters, flattens his station with food; the Soma-juice collected by the priests is mixed with the barley; it is united by the fingers; it protects the head.

Wandering through, the Parents, strengthening the floods, the Sage makes his place swell with his own native might. The stalk is mixed with grain: he comes led by the men together with the sisters, and preserves the Head.
