daśa̱ svasā̍ro̱ adhi̱ sāno̱ avye 'ja̍nti̱ vahni̱ṁ sada̍nā̱ny accha̍ ||
As for a chariot-race, the skilful Speaker, Chief, Sage, Inventor, hath, with song, been started. The sisters ten upon the fleecy summit drive on the Car-horse to the resting places.
9.91.2
vī̱tī jana̍sya di̱vyasya̍ ka̱vyair adhi̍ suvā̱no na̍hu̱ṣye̍bhi̱r indu̍ḥ |
pra yo nṛbhi̍r a̱mṛto̱ martye̍bhir marmṛjā̱no 'vi̍bhi̱r gobhi̍r a̱dbhiḥ ||
The drop of Soma, pressed by wise Nahushyas, becomes the banquet of the Heavenly People- Indu, by hands of mortal men made beauteous, immortal, with the sheep and cows and waters.
9.91.3

Steer roaring unto Steer, this Pavamâna, this juice runs to the white milk of the milch-cow. Through thousand fine hairs goes the tuneful Singer, like Sura by his fair and open pathways.

vṛ̱ścopari̍ṣṭāt tuja̱tā va̱dhena̱ ye anti̍ dū̱rād u̍panā̱yam e̍ṣām ||
Break down the, strong seats even of the demons: cleansing thee, Indu, robd thyself in vigour. Rend with thy swift bolt, coming from above them, those who are near and those who yet are distant.

Prepare the forward paths in ancient manner for the new bymn, thou Giver of all bounties. Those which are high and hard for foes to conquer may we gain from thee, Active! Food-bestower!

So purifying thee vouchsafe us waters, heaven's light, and cows, offspring and many children. Give us health, ample land, and lights, O Soma, and grant us long to look upon the sunshine.
