परि॒ हि ष्मा॑ पुरुहू॒तो जना॑नां॒ विश्वास॑र॒द्भोज॑ना पू॒यमा॑नः । अथा भ॑र श्येनभृत॒ प्रयां॑सि र॒यिं तुञ्जा॑नो अ॒भि वाज॑मर्ष
pari hi ṣmā puruhūto janānāṃ viśvāsaradbhojanā pūyamānaḥ athā bhara śyenabhṛta prayāṃsi rayiṃ tuñjāno abhi vājamarṣa
Indeed the priest (purohita) tends faithfully to the people’s trust, serving the feast; then, borne like a hawk, you proceed to the pasture, Soma, approaching with the cows for the sacrifice.
Invoked by many, the Soma, undergoing purification, pours forth all food (for the sake of men); falcon-borne, bring us food, conveying wealth send forth your juice.
He, while he cleanses him, invoked of many, hath flowed to give the people all enjoyment. Thou whom the Falcon brought, bring, dainty viands, bestir thyself and send us wealth and booty.
