1. TASTE offerings never tasted yet, as bards enjoy the foeman's wealth.
     O Vayu, on refulgent car come to the drinking of the juice.
2. Removing curses, drawn by teams, with Indra, seated by thy side,
     O Vayu, on refulgent car come to the drinking of the juice.
3. The two dark treasuries of wealth that wear all beauties wait on thee.
     O Vayu, on refulgent car come to the drinking of the juice.
4. May nine-and-ninety harnessed steeds who yoke them at thy will bring thee.
     O Vayu, on refulgent car come to the drinking of the juice.
5. Harness, O Vayu, to thy car a hundred well-fed tawny steeds,
     Yea, or a thousand steeds, and let thy chariot come to us with might.
