With Somas go ye nigh to him chief drinker of the Soma's. juice:
With beakers to the impetuous God, to Indra with the flowing, drops!

Full wise, he knows the hope of each, and, bold one strikes this. foe and that.

Will he not keep us safely from the spiteful curse of each, presumptuous high-born foe?
