Bring the Gods, Agni; in the three appointed places set them down: Surround them, and with Rtu drink.

Drink Soma after the Ritus, from the Brahmana's bounty: undissolved, O Indra, is thy friendship's bond.

Mitra, Varuna, ye whose ways are firm—a Power that none deceives—, With Rtu ye have reached the rite.

The Soma-pressers, fain for wealth, praise the Wealth-giver in the rite, In sacrifices praise the God.
