ततः पीत्वा बलभित् सोममग्रयं ये चाप्यन्ये सोमपा देवसंघा: । सर्वेडनुज्ञाता: प्रययु: पार्थिवेन यथाजोष॑ तर्पिता: प्रीतिमन््त:,तत्पश्चात् इन्द्र तथा सोमपानके अधिकारी अन्य देवताओंने उत्तम सोमरसका पान किया। इससे सबको तृप्ति एवं प्रसन्नता हुई। फिर सब देवता राजा मरुत्तकी अनुमति लेकर अपने-अपने स्थानको चले गये
tataḥ pītvā balabhit somam agryaṃ ye cāpy anye somapā devasaṅghāḥ | sarve 'nujñātāḥ prayayuḥ pārthivena yathājoṣaṃ tarpitāḥ prītimantaḥ ||
Then Balabhit (Indra), having drunk the finest Soma, and the other assemblies of gods who partake of Soma also drank that excellent Soma-juice. Fully satisfied and gladdened, all of them—having received the king’s permission—departed, each to his own abode.
