That one, purified by the ancient song, they have praised; and the inspired thoughts, bearing the names of the gods, have also rejoiced.
तमुक्षमाणमव्यये वारे पुनन्ति धर्णसिम् । दूतं न पूर्वचित्तय आ शासते मनीषिणः
That one, streaming in the unaging stream, the mighty one they purify; as a messenger, mindful of what is before, the wise ones direct him.

Purified, Soma, most intoxicating, settles in the cups; like a bull depositing seed, the lord inspires speech and wisdom.

Pressed, O Indu, you are led through the filter by men; you, most exhilarating for Indra, settle in the cups.

O Purifying One, bring that most powerful glory, by which you surpass the five peoples, by which we may win wealth.
