YV 7.2y

a The sweet with the sweet, bitter with the bitter, immortal with the immortal, with the Soma I unite thee; thou art Soma; be ready for the Açvins, be ready for Sarasvati, be ready for Indra, the good protector. b Let the daughter of the Sun Purify for thee the flowing Soma With the eternal sieve. c Vayu purified by the strainer, Soma hath sped away, Indra's dear friend. d What then? As men who have barley Reap the barley in order, removing it, Hither bring the food of those Who have not gone to the reverential cutting of the straw. e To the Açvins he sacrifices a dusky (ox), to Sarasvati a ram, to Indra a bull. f To Indra he offers on eleven potsherds, to Savitr on twelve potsherds, to Varuna on ten potsherds. g O Pitrs, beaded by Soma, rejoice. h The sacrificial fee is a mare. a O Agni and Visnu, great is your greatness; Rejoice ye in the secret names of the ghee; Placing in every house seven treasures, May your tongue move forth to the ghee. b O Agni and Visnu, great is your dear abode; Ye taste the ghee, rejoicing in its secrets; In every home increasing lauds, May your tongue move forth to the ghee. c May the goddess Sarasvati With strength, rich in mares, Further us, she that aideth prayer. d To us from the sky, from the great [1] mountain; May Sarasvati, the worshipful, come to the sacrifice May the goddess rejoicing in our supplication, rich in ghee, May she hearken gladly to our effectual speech. e O Brhaspati, with the All-gods, Do thou rejoice in our oblations; Grant riches to the generous giver. f Then to the father, with the All-gods, to the strong one, Let us pay honour with sacrifices, with reverence, with oblations; O Brhaspati, with good offspring, with heroes, May we be lords of wealth. g That various wealth bestow upon us, O Brhaspati, that shall surpass the enemy, That shall shine glorious, with insight among men, That shall be resplendent in glory, O thou who art born of holy order [2].
