The Hymns of the Rigveda/Book 1/Hymn 15

1. O INDRA drink the Soma juice with Rtu; let the cheering drops
     Sink deep within, which settle there.
2. Drink from the Purifier's cup, Maruts, with Rtu; sanctify
     The rite, for ye give precious gifts.
3. O Nestar, with thy Dame accept our sacrifice; with Rtu drink,
     For thou art he who giveth wealth.
4. Bring the Gods, Agni; in the three appointed places set them down:
     Surround them, and with Rtu drink.
5. Drink Soma after the Rtus, from the Brahmana's bounty: undissolved,
     O Indra, is thy friendship's bond.
6. Mitra, Varuna, ye whose ways are firm--a Power that none deceives--,
     With Rtu ye have reached the rite.
7. The Soma-pressers, fain for wealth, praise the Wealth-giver in the rite,
     In sacrifices praise the God.
8. May the Wealth-giver grant to us riches that shall be far renowned.
     These things we gain, among the Gods.
9. He with the Rtu fain would drink, Wealth-giver, from the Nestar's bowl.
     Haste, give your offering, and depart.
10. As we this fourth time, Wealth-giver, honour thee with the Rtus, be
     A Giver bountiful to us.
11. Drink ye the meath, O Asvins bright with flames, whose acts are pure, who with
     Rtus accept the sacrifice.
12. With Rtu, through the house-fire, thou, kind Giver, guidest sacrifice:
     Worship the Gods for the pious man.
