WHAT shall we sing to Soma, strong, most bounteous, excellently wise, that shall be dearest to his heart?

Tha. May grant the grace of Soma to our folk, our kine, Our cattle and our progeny;

That Mitra and that Indra, that Som. May remember us, Yea, all the Devas with one accord.

To Soma Lord of offerings, of hymns and balmy medicines, We meditate for joy and health and strength.

He shines in splendour like the Sun, refulgent as bright gold is he, the good, the best among the Devas.

May he grant health into our steeds, wellbeing to our rams and ewes, to men, to women, and to kine.

O Soma, set thou upon us the glory of a hundred men, the great renown of mighty chiefs.

Let not malignities, nor those who trouble Soma, hinder us.

Indu, give us a share of strength.

Soma! head, central point, love these; Soma! know these as serving thee, Children of thee Immortal, at the highest place of holy law.
