Heaven and earth trembled at the might and voice of him, whom, loved and Holy One, helper of all mankind, The wise who longed for spoil in fight for kine brought forth with power, a Friend, mid waters, at the sacrifice.

As these, like friends, have done this work for you, these prompt servants of Purumilha Soma-offerer, Give mental power to him who sings the sacred song, and hearken, Strong Ones, to the master of the house.
ā vām bhūṣan kṣitayo janma rodasyoḥ pravācyaṃ vṛṣaṇā dakṣase mahe yad īm ṛtāya bharatho yad arvate pra hotrayā śimyā vītho adhvaram
The folk have glorified your birth from Earth and Heaven, to be extolled, ye Strong Ones, for your mighty power. Ye, when ye bring to singer and the rite, enjoy the sacrifice performed with holy praise and strength.
This verse is not included in this edition.
The people prospers, Asuras! whom ye dearly love: ye, Righteous Ones, proclaim aloud the Holy Law. That efficacious power that comes from lofty heaven, ye bind unto the work, as to the pole an ox.
mahī atra mahinā vāram ṛṇvatho 'reṇavas tuja ā sadman dhenavaḥ svaranti tā uparatāti sūryam ā nimruca uṣasas takvavīr iva
On this great earth ye send your treasure down with might: unstained by dust, the crowding kine are in the stalls. Here in the neighbourhood they cry unto the Sun at morning and at evening, like swift birds of prey.
ā vām ṛtāya keśinīr anūṣata mitra yatra varuṇa gātum arcathaḥ ava tmanā sṛjatam pinvataṃ dhiyo yuvaṃ viprasya manmanām irajyathaḥ
The flames with curling tresses serve your sacrifice, whereto ye sing the song, Mitra and Varuna. Send down of your free will, prosper our holy songs: ye are sole Masters of the singer's hymn of praise.
yo vāṃ yajñaiḥ śaśamāno ha dāśati kavir hotā yajati manmasādhanaḥ upāha taṃ gacchatho vītho adhvaram acchā giraḥ sumatiṃ gantam asmayū
Whoso with sacrifices toiling brings you gifts, and worships, sage and priest, fulfilling your desire,— To him do ye draw nigh and taste his sacrifice. Come well-inclined to us unto our songs and prayer.
yuvāṃ yajñaiḥ prathamā gobhir añjata ṛtāvānā manaso na prayuktiṣu bharanti vām manmanā saṃyatā giro 'dṛpyatā manasā revad āśāthe
With sacrifices and with milk they deck you first, ye Righteous Ones, as if through stirrings of the mind. To you they bring their hymns with their collected thought, while ye with earnest soul come to us gloriously.
revad vayo dadhāthe revad āśāthe narā māyābhir itaūti māhinam na vāṃ dyāvo 'habhir nota sindhavo na devatvam paṇayo nānaśur magham
Rich strength of life is yours: ye, Heroes, have obtained through your surpassing powers rich far-extending might. Not the past days conjoined with nights, not rivers, not the Panis have attained your Godhead and your wealth.
