Begin the song, seated in our assembly. Give strength for sacrifice to him who singeth.

The men, the pressing-stones, the cows, the waters have made this Soma ready for thy drinking.

With mind devoted, Indra, I invoke thee. Come, for our great prosperity approach us.

Listen and hear the prayers which now we offer, and let this sacrifice increase thy vigour.
