1. DRINK the best draught of Soma-juice, O Vayu, at our holy rites:
     For thou art he who drinketh first.
2. Come, team-drawn, with thy hundred helps, with Indra, seated in the car,
     Vaya, and drink your fill of juice.
3. May steeds a thousand bring you both, Indra. and Vayu, hitherward
     To drink the Soma, to the feagt.
4. For ye, O Indra-Vayu, mount the golden seated car that aids
     The sacrifice, that reaches heaven.
5. On far-refulgent chariot come unto the man who offers gifts:
     Come, Indra-Vayu, hitherward.
6. Here, Indra-Vayu, is the juice: drink it, accordant with the Gods,
     Within the giver's dwelling-place.
7. Hither, O Indra-Vayu, be your journey here unyoke your steeds,
     Here for your draught of Soma juice.
