यः सोम सख्ये तव रारणद्देव मर्त्यः । तं दक्षः सचते कविः
Whoever, O Soma, delights in your friendship, that mortal, the wise, is joined by skill.
उरुष्या णो अभिशस्तेः सोम नि पाह्यंहसः । सखा सुशेव एधि नः
Drive far from us, Soma, all curses; protect us from harm. Be our friend, bring good fortune.
आ प्यायस्व समेतु ते विश्वतः सोम वृष्ण्यम् । भवा वाजस्य संगथे
Expand, Soma, let your strength gather from all sides. Be the source of our vigor.
आ प्यायस्व मदिन्तम सोम विश्वेभिरंशुभिः । भवा नः सुश्रवस्तमः सखा वृधे
Expand, most exhilarating Soma, with all your streams. Be our most renowned friend for growth.
सं ते पयांसि समु यन्तु वाजाः सं वृष्ण्यान्यभिमातिषाहः । आप्यायमानो अमृताय सोम दिवि श्रवांस्युत्तमानि धिष्व
May your nourishing powers and strengths come together, may your vigor and ability to overcome foes unite. As you expand, Soma, for immortality, place the highest fame in heaven.
या ते धामानि हविषा यजन्ति ता ते विश्वा परिभूरस्तु यज्ञम् । गयस्फानः प्रतरणः सुवीरोऽवीरहा प्र चरा सोम दुर्यान्
Those powers of yours worshipped with offerings—may they all surround this sacrifice. Soma, expanding life, crossing over, strong and heroic, drive away misfortune.
सोमो धेनुं सोमो अर्वन्तमाशुं सोमो वीरं कर्मण्यं ददाति । सादन्यं विदथ्यं सभेयं पितृश्रवणं यो ददाशदस्मै
Soma gives the cow, Soma gives the swift horse, Soma gives the heroic man of action. He gives what is beneficial, what is to be known, what is to be discussed, and ancestral fame to the one who worships him.
अषाळ्हं युत्सु पृतनासु पप्रिं स्वर्षामप्सां वृजनस्य गोपाम् । भरेषुजां सुक्षितिं सुश्रवसं जयन्तं त्वामनु मदेम सोम
In battle, in contests, you are mighty, Soma; you are the lord of light, guardian of waters, protector of people. In the struggle, you bring good dwelling, renowned victory; may we rejoice in you, Soma.
त्वमिमा ओषधीः सोम विश्वास्त्वमपो अजनयस्त्वं गाः । त्वमा ततन्थोर्वन्तरिक्षं त्वं ज्योतिषा वि तमो ववर्थ
You, Soma, have generated all these plants, you have produced the waters, you have created the cows; you have stretched out the wide midspace, and with your light you have driven away the darkness.
देवेन नो मनसा देव सोम रायो भागं सहसावन्नभि युध्य । मा त्वा तनदीशिषे वीर्यस्योभयेभ्यः प्र चिकित्सा गविष्टौ
With divine mind, O god Soma, mighty one, contend for our share of wealth; let not your strength be diminished by either side in the contest for the prize.
एता उ त्या उषसः केतुमक्रत पूर्वे अर्धे रजसो भानुमञ्जते । निष्कृण्वाना आयुधानीव धृष्णवः प्रति गावोऽरुषीर्यन्ति मातरः
These Dawns have made their sign; in the eastern half of the sky they spread their radiance; like warriors putting on armor, the red cows, their mothers, set out.
उदपप्तन्नरुणा भानवो वृथा स्वायुजो अरुषीर्गा अयुक्षत । अक्रन्नुषासो वयुनानि पूर्वथा रुशन्तं भानुमरुषीरशिश्रयुः
The ruddy rays have risen, their own force unrestrained; the red cows have been yoked to their course; the Dawns have performed their ancient paths, the shining ones have taken on their bright radiance.
अर्चन्ति नारीरपसो न विष्टिभिः समानेन योजनेना परावतः । इषं वहन्तीः सुकृते सुदानवे विश्वेदह यजमानाय सुन्वते
The women sing, as if with streams, with a common bond they move together; bearing nourishment for the generous doer of good, all of them come to the sacrificer who presses the Soma.
अधि पेशांसि वपते नृतूरिवापोर्णुते वक्ष उस्रेव बर्जहम् । ज्योतिर्विश्वस्मै भुवनाय कृण्वती गावो न व्रजं व्युषा आवर्तमः
She weaves her garments like a dancer, she covers her breast like a cow with her calf; making light for all the worlds, the Dawns, like cows, return to the fold.
प्रत्यर्ची रुशदस्या अदर्शि वि तिष्ठते बाधते कृष्णमभ्वम् । स्वरुं न पेशो विदथेष्वञ्जञ्चित्रं दिवो दुहिता भानुमश्रेत्
Her shining radiance has appeared, she stands forth, she drives away the black darkness; like a bright ornament at the assemblies, the Daughter of Heaven has displayed her brilliance.
अतारिष्म तमसस्पारमस्योषा उच्छन्ती वयुना कृणोति । श्रिये छन्दो न स्मयते विभाती सुप्रतीका सौमनसायाजीगः
We have crossed beyond the far shore of darkness; the rising Dawn creates the paths; shining for beauty, she smiles like a lovely garment, radiant, she has come for our well-being.

Radiant leader of good words, Daughter of Heaven, you are praised with these songs; O Dawn, rich in offspring, rich in men, with the awakening of horses and cows, you bring us strength.

O Dawn, grant us fame, heroic sons, wealth of horses, and abundant riches; you who shine with generous glory, bring us great and splendid prosperity.
विश्वानि देवी भुवनाभिचक्ष्या प्रतीची चक्षुरुर्विया वि भाति । विश्वं जीवं चरसे बोधयन्ती विश्वस्य वाचमविदन्मनायोः
The goddess, seeing all the worlds, shines forth with her wide gaze; you move among all living beings, awakening them, making known the speech of all.
पुनःपुनर्जायमाना पुराणी समानं वर्णमभि शुम्भमाना । श्वघ्नीव कृत्नुर्विज आमिनाना मर्तस्य देवी जरयन्त्यायुः
Ever anew, though ancient, she is born again and again, adorning herself with the same color; like a skilled woman, she drives away the darkness, the goddess diminishes the mortal's life.
व्यूर्ण्वती दिवो अन्ताँ अबोध्यप स्वसारं सनुतर्युयोति । प्रमिनती मनुष्या युगानि योषा जारस्य चक्षसा वि भाति
Unfolding the ends of the sky, she has awakened; she sends away her sister, the night; measuring the ages of men, the maiden shines with the glance of a lover.
पशून्न चित्रा सुभगा प्रथाना सिन्धुर्न क्षोद उर्विया व्यश्वैत् । अमिनती दैव्यानि व्रतानि सूर्यस्य चेति रश्मिभिर्दृशाना
Splendid, fortunate, she spreads out like cattle, like a river in her vastness she flows; observing the divine laws, she moves with the rays of the sun, ever visible.

O Dawn, bring us that splendid wealth, full of horses, by which we may support our offspring and descendants.
उषो अद्येह गोमत्यश्वावति विभावरि । रेवदस्मे व्युच्छ सूनृतावति
O Dawn, shine forth today here, in this place rich in cows and horses; rise for us, bringing wealth and good speech.
युक्ष्वा हि वाजिनीवत्यश्वाँ अद्यारुणाँ उषः । अथा नो विश्वा सौभगान्या वह
Yoke now your chariot, rich in horses, with the red steeds, O Dawn; then bring to us all good fortunes.
अश्विना वर्तिरस्मदा गोमद्दस्रा हिरण्यवत् । अर्वाग्रथं समनसा नि यच्छतम्
O Ashvins, leaders of our path, bestowers of cows, givers of gold, bring your chariot near to us with united mind.
यावित्था श्लोकमा दिवो ज्योतिर्जनाय चक्रथुः । आ न ऊर्जं वहतमश्विना युवम्
As far as you have made the song and the light in the sky for the people, O Aśvins, bring us nourishment.
एह देवा मयोभुवा दस्रा हिरण्यवर्तनी । उषर्बुधो वहन्तु सोमपीतये
Here, O divine, wondrous ones with golden wheels, let the dawns bring forth the awakened for the drinking of Soma.
अग्नीषोमाविमं सु मे शृणुतं वृषणा हवम् । प्रति सूक्तानि हर्यतं भवतं दाशुषे मयः
O Agni and Soma, strong ones, kindly hear this call of mine; delight in these hymns and grant joy to the worshipper.

O Agni and Soma, to the one who today offers you this praise, grant heroic strength, abundance of cattle, and good horses.
