The Red, who reaches up to heaven!

And pour the sweet milk in the meath.

To Indra offer Indu up

Prosperity upon our kine
5. Heart-knower, Sovran of the heart, thou art effused, O Soma, That,
Indra. may drink thee and rejoice.
6. O Soma Pavamana, give us riches and heroic strength, Indu, with Indra. our ally!
