Indra, Vayu, Brihaspati, Mitra, Agni, Pushan, Bhaga, Adityas, and the Marut host.

For you these juices are poured forth that gladden and exhilarate, The meath-drops resting in the cup.

The sons of Kanva fain for help adore thee, having strewn the grass, With offerings and all things prepared.

Let the swift steeds who carry thee, thought-yoked and dropping holy oil, Bring the Gods to the Soma draught.

Adored, the strengtheners of Law, unite them, Agni, with their Dames: Make them drink meath, O bright of tongue.
