    He is groomed with waters, with cows, when he has been pressed by
    stones. Being purified, the drop finds dear wide space.

    We would invoke Heaven and Earth, the two without hatred. O gods,
    establish wealth rich in heroes for us.

1. Like an arrow on a bow, my thought is aimed. It is released like a calf
    to the udder of its mother.
    Like (a cow) with a broad stream, it gives milk as it comes here in the lead.
    Under the commandments of this one [=Soma the god], the soma (juice) is dispatched.

2. And while my thought is being engorged, the honey is poured. The
    gladdening goad [=tongue] bestirs itself within the mouth.
    The self-purifying one is a thundering, like (the thundering) of beaters.
    The honeyed drop rushes round the fleece.

3. Seeking his wives, he purifies himself all around in the fleece and upon
    the hide. The granddaughter of Aditi loosens (her garment [=shoots of the soma plant])
    for him who goes to truth.
    The tawny one [/fallow bay], held fast, has whinnied—the sacrificial
    exhilarating drink. Sharpening his own manly powers, like a buffalo,
    he beautifies himself.

4. The bull bellows, and the milk-cows go in response. The goddesses go
    to their rendezvous with the god.
    He has stridden beyond the silvery sheep’s fleece. Soma has wrapped
    himself in (milk) as if in a freshly washed cloak.

5. Being arrayed, the immortal tawny one has wrapped himself with an
    unworn, gleaming garment.
    With his might he has made the back of heaven for his raiment and an
    underlayer made of cloud in the two cups.

6. Like the rays of the sun that set sleepers in motion, the exhilarating
    (soma juices) arise all at once from sleep.
    The swift surges (surge) around the stretched string [=filter]. But
    without Indra he [=Soma] does not purify any domain of his.

    Weal (be) for our two-footed and our four-footed at their homecoming.
    Let prizes and peoples stand by us, Soma.

    forth as creators of vitality for me.

1. Like a new-born (calf), he has roared down into the wood(en vessel).
    When the ruddy racehorse strives to win the sun,

    extended and fully filled, encompasses in every direction,
    that (plant) will offer sacrifice to these two great world-halves when they

3. A great delight is the well-prepared somian honey, and wide is the
    pasture-land of Aditi for him who goes to truth,
    who, as a dawn-red bull, is master of the rain from here, who is the
    leader of the waters, ageless and worthy of verses.

4. The embodied cloud is milked of ghee and milk. The navel of truth, the
    immortal (drink) is born.

5. The plant, keeping company with the wave, has roared. For Manu it
    swells the skin that seeks out the gods.
    It deposits the embryo in the lap of Aditi, the one by which we will
    acquire both progeny and prosperity.

7. He makes himself a white form when he is striving to win. Soma,
    benefactor and lord, knows the world.
    He keeps company with insight and (ritual) labor—that is the course

    toward the superior man who quickens insightful thought and bestrides
    the chariot, toward Indra the bull with the mace in his arms.

    horses, o god Soma.

    O drop, at (the time of) the hiding of the moon [=early morning] run
    forth into the lake.
    The copper-colored (Sun/Fire), sped like the wind, is also there. The
    very wise one [=Soma?] also gives (to us) the superior man [= Indra?]
    to make the charge.

    of the (prize/wealth) worthy of fame [=place of distribution of
    daksinās?].
    The challengers’ challenger [=Indra?] will shake off sixty thousand

54. Of him—“Bull” his name—there are these two great forceful weapons
    of death either at the hiding of the moon or at the caressing
    [=mixing soma with milk]:
    he put the challengers to sleep and “snowed” them. Turn back from
    here those without alliance (with us), back those without perception.

55. You converge on the three filters stretched out, but you run along just
    one while you are being purified.
    You are Bhaga, you are the giver of the gift; you are bounteous to the
    bounteous ones, o drop.

56. This one, knowing all, possessing inspired thoughts, purifies himself—
    Soma, the king of all creation.
    Rousing the droplets at the rites, the drop proceeds over and across the
    sheep’s fleece all at once.

57. The undeceivable buffaloes lick the drop. On his track the poets squawk
    like birds of prey.
    The insightful ones impel him with their ten fingers. They jointly anoint
    his form with the sap of the waters.

    Earth and Heaven.
