mahi psaraḥ sukṛtaṃ somyaṃ madhūrvī gavyūtiraditerṛtaṃ yate īśe yo vṛṣṭerita usriyo vṛṣāpāṃ netā ya itaūtirṛgmiyaḥ
The wide pasture completed the good Soma, the sweet‑minded song; the rites attained the sun’s path. He who desires the rain of sovereignty, the leader of the herds, he of Rig’s praise, was proclaimed thus.
(There is) abundant food well-prepared made of Soma and sweet for (Indra) who comes to the sacrifice; the way to earth is broad; (for Indra) who is the lord of the rain (that falls) here, the possessor of cattle, the showerer of water, the leader (of the sacrifice), whose road is hither, who is deserving of praise.
Wide space hath he who follows Aditi's right path, and mighty, well-made food, meath blent with Soma juice; He who from hence commands the rain, Steer of the kine, Leader of floods, who helps us hence, who claims our laud.
