Lords of great wealth, Brihaspati and Indra, rejoicing at this sacrifice drink Soma.

Let your swift-gliding coursers bear you hitherward with their fleet pinions. Come ye forward with your arms.
Sit on the grass; a wide seat hath been made for you: delight yourselves, O Maruts, in the pleasant food.

For Jātavedas, worthy of our praise, will we frame with our mind this eulogy as 'twere a car.
For good in his assembly is this care of ours. Let us not in thy friendship, Agni, suffer harm.

With these, borne on one car, Agni, approach us; or borne on many, for thy steeds are able.
Bring, with their Dames, the Gods, the Three-and-Thirty, after thy Godlike nature, and he joyful.
