ए॒ष स्य सोमो॑ म॒तिभिः॑ पुना॒नोऽत्यो॒ न वा॒जी तर॒तीदरा॑तीः । पयो॒ न दु॒ग्धमदि॑तेरिषि॒रमु॒र्वि॑व गा॒तुः सु॒यमो॒ न वोळ्हा॑
eṣa sya somo matibhiḥ punāno'tyo na vājī taratīdarātīḥ payo na dugdhamaditeriṣiramurviva gātuḥ suyamo na voḷhā
This Soma, refreshed by minds, is wholly renewed, not passing away; he overcomes thirst for the cattle. The resulting drink is like milk and honey; sing the praise, O ye who are youthful.
This Soma (is) purified with praises, like a strong horse he overthrows (his) foes; (he is purified) like the strong milk milked from the cow, (flocked to by all) like a broad road, (and guided by the praisers) like a well-trained horse of burden.
Purified with our holy hymns, this Soma o'ertakes malignities like some strong charger, Like fresh milk poured by Aditi, like passage in ample room, or like a docile car-horse.
