1. This Soma hath been pressed for you, Low-strengtheners, Mitra, Varuna!
List, list ye here to this may call!

2. Both Kings who never injure aught have come to their sublimest home,
The thousand-pillared, firmly based.

3. Worshipped with fat libation. Lords of gifts, Adityas, sovran Kings,
They wait on him whose life is true.
