Soma bestoweth the milch-cow; Soma bestoweth the swift steed; Soma bestoweth the hero, apt for work. He (Soma) granteth settled wealth, honour in the rite, standing in the assembly, and ancestral renown—to him who hath given (offered) unto him.

Mantra 22

त्वमि॒मा ओष॑धीः सोम॒ विश्वा॒स्त्वम॒पो अ॑जनय॒स्त्वं गाः । त्वमा त॑तन्थो॒र्वन्तरि॑क्षं॒ त्वं ज्योति॑षा॒ वि तमो॑ ववर्थ

Neither the Rākṣasas nor the Piśācas overpass that power: for this is, verily, the first-born might of the gods. Whoso beareth the Dākṣāyaṇa gold, he establisheth for himself long life among the gods; he establisheth for himself long life among men.

Mantra 53

उ॒त नोऽहि॑र्बु॒ध्न्य॒: शृणोत्व॒ज एक॑पात्पृथि॒वी स॑मु॒द्रः । विश्वे॑ दे॒वा ऋ॑ता॒वृधो॑ हुवा॒ना स्तु॒ता मन्त्रा॑: कविश॒स्ता अ॑वन्तु

O Lord of sacred speech, thou art the guide of this (rite): take heed of the well-spoken hymn, and quicken the offspring. All that is auspicious which the Gods do favour—may we speak what is great in the assembly of worship, rich in goodly heroes.
