English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Let us not, Indra, leave the path, the Soma-presser's sacrifice: Let no malignity dwell with us.

May we obtain, completely wrought, the thread spun out to reach the Gods, That perfecteth the sacrifice.

3
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

We call the spirit hither with the Soma of our parted sires, Yea, with the Fathers' holy hymns.

4
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Thy spirit come to thee again for wisdom, energy, and lire, That thou mayst long behold the sun!

5
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

O Fathers, may the Heavenly Folk give us our spirit once again, That we may be with those who live.

6
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

O Soma with the spirit still within us, blest with progeny, May we be busied in the law.
