1. Adhvaryu, to the filter lead the Soma-juice expressed with stones:
Make thou it pure for Indra's drink!

2. These Gods and all the Marut host, Indu! enjoy this juice of thine,
This Pavamana's flowing meath.

3. Pour out for Indra, Thunder-armed, the milk of heaven, the Soma's juice,
Most excellent, most rich in sweets!
