सिन्धो॑रिव प्रव॒णे नि॒म्न आ॒शवो॒ वृष॑च्युता॒ मदा॑सो गा॒तुमा॑शत । शं नो॑ निवे॒शे द्वि॒पदे॒ चतु॑ष्पदे॒ऽस्मे वाजाः॑ सोम तिष्ठन्तु कृ॒ष्टयः॑
sindhoriva pravaṇe nimna āśavo vṛṣacyutā madāso gātumāśata śaṃ no niveśe dvipade catuṣpade'sme vājāḥ soma tiṣṭhantu kṛṣṭayaḥ
Like the Sindhu flowing down, the streams poured forth, their bulls mounting in frenzy, reaching full of might. May they settle for us in two-footed and four-footed forms; may the Soma's powers remain.
The exhilarating (Soma-juices) poured forth by the sprinklers effect their way to Indra as in a waterfall of a river the percvading (waters find their way) to dry ground; bless on our return our two-footed and four-footed things; may food and offspring ever abide with us.
As down the steep slope of a river to the vale, drawn from the Steer the swift strong draughts have found a way. Well be it with the men and cattle in our home. May powers, O Soma, may the people stay with us.
