He is the first sage and lord of speech. Offer you the Soma juice to that effulgent Indra. May the sacrificers satisfy him with sweet oblations, those who become pleased having gained their due offerings and are engaged in the sacrifice. May they approach Agni.

May all the eleven majestic gods residing in heaven, the eleven ones who dwell upon the earth, and those eleven dwelling in waters, accept this our sacrifice, and be pleased.

This Soma is pressed out for the priest, for the nobles, this is pressed out for the sacrificer, for increase of food and obtaining of power, for the satisfaction of earth and heaven, for excellent life. I accept Soma for al the gods. This is your home and refuge. You are for all the gods!

You are bound with righteous laws. I take you for lord Indra of the Brihat, O mighty one, lover of invocation. I take you for Indra, the lord of might and vigour, for Vishnu, your home. I take you for god’s protection and for long life of the sacrifice.

I accept you for Mitra and Varuna, for the protection of gods, for the long life of sacrifice, you for the learned men, for yajna. I take you as the protector of Indra, Agni and sacrifice you for Indra and Brihaspati, for Indra and Vishnu.

The gods have generated Agni, the envoy of earth, head of the Sun, the sage, the guest, the lord of men, a pure receptacle fit for their mouths, the effulgent, born in holy order, the Vaishvanara.

Bound by laws you are firm, firmly established, the firmest of the firm, the most steadfast of those who never have been shaken. This is your home. I with a firm mind, with firm speech take you as the leader of humanity. So now may Indra make our men of one heart, one mind and free from enemies.

Who are you? Who amongst us all are you? Whose son are you? What is your name? We want to know your name so that to delight you with our Soma juice. May I be possessed of the majesty of the earth, the space and the sun, the lord of my subjects. May I be possessed of heroic men to nourish the country to strength with the help of these heroic warriors.

Come, Indra and Agni, unto us being pleased with our lauds, come to the precious Soma-drink. Drink of this draught, impelled by our songs. I take you for Indra, for Agni. This is your home. I place you here for Indra and Agni.

Come here the learned men who kindle the sacred fire and offer oblation with firm mind, whose friend is Indra, the ever youthful. I take you for Indra and Agni. This is your dwelling. Having accepted you we offer oblation to Indra and Agni through you.

O you all the gods, protector, bestower, cherishers of mankind, come here to your devotee’s offering. This is your dwelling. I offer you to all the gods.
