उ॒त स्वस्या॒ अरा॑त्या अ॒रिर्हि ष उ॒तान्यस्या॒ अरा॑त्या॒ वृको॒ हि षः । धन्व॒न्न तृष्णा॒ सम॑रीत॒ ताँ अ॒भि सोम॑ ज॒हि प॑वमान दुरा॒ध्यः॑
uta svasyā arātyā arirhi ṣa utānyasyā arātyā vṛko hi ṣaḥ dhanvanna tṛṣṇā samarīta tām̐ abhi soma jahi pavamāna durādhyaḥ
The foe is indeed his who is unritualized; the wolf is his who is without rite. Hunger for wealth has been stirred; Soma, strike them down with distant darts, you purifier, harsh to the wrongdoers.
For the (Soma) verily is the foe of his own enemy and the destroyer of the enemy of another; as thirst overcomes one in a desert, so purified Soma, who are irresistible, slay (both) those (adversaries).
Yea, yerily, foe of hate shown to himself is he, yea, verity, destroyer too of other hate. As thirst subdueth in the desert, conquer thou, O Soma Pavarnana, men of evil thoughts.
