Rig Veda 2.37

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Enjoy thy fill of meath out of the Hotar's cup: Adhvaryus he desires a full draught poured for him. Bring it him: seeking this he gives. Granter of Wealth, drink Soma with the Ritus from the Hotar's cup.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

He whom of old I called on, him I call on now. He is to be invoked; his name is He who Gives, Here brought by priests is Soma meath. Granter of Wealth, drink Soma with the Ritus from the Potar's cup.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Fat may the horses be wherewith thou speedest on: Lord of the Wood, unharming, strengthen thou thyself. Drawing and seizing, Bold One, thou who grantest wealth, drink Soma with the Ritus from the Neshtar's cup.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

From Hotar's cup and Potar's he hath drunk and joyed: the proffered food hath pleased him from the Neshtar's bowl. The fourth cup undisturbed, immortal, let him drink who giveth wealth, the cup of the wealth-giving God.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Yoke, O ye Twain, to-day your hero-bearing car, swift-moving hitherward: your loosing-place is here. Mix the oblations, then come hither with the meath, and drink the Soma, ye rich in abundant strength.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Agni, accept the fuel and our offered gift: accept the prayer of man, accept our eulogy, Do thou with all, with Rtu, O thou Excellent, fain, make the great Gods all fain taste the gift we bring.
