All Sons of Immortality shall hear it, all the possessors of celestial natures.

आ सीदतं सवमु लोकं विदाने सवासस्थेभवतमिन्दवे नः

Take your place, ye who know your proper station: be near, be very near unto our Soma.

This by the Sacred Syllable have I measured: I purify in the central place of Order,

देवेभ्यः कमव्र्णीत मर्त्युं परजायै कमम्र्तंनाव्र्णीत |

Both these are his, as his they are the Lords of both: both toil; belonging unto both they prosper well.
