Convite aindrico a Indra para que venha com os Haris e beba o Soma espremido como «senhor das exaltações inebriantes»; em seguida invocam-se as Águas (Āpaḥ), mayobhuvaḥ, para conceder purificação e consagração, alimento e vigor vital (ūrj), alegria, faculdades íntegras — sobretudo visão e saúde (cakṣas) — e prosperidade estável do lar (kṣaya). O sacrifício opera pelo acesso correto e pelos meios corretos: o Soma atrai Indra e sua força de êxtase (mada), enquanto as Águas santificam, nutrem e asseguram o bem-estar, ligando a embriaguez de poder à pureza e ao sustento da vida.
