yásya júṣṭiṁ somínaḥ kāmáyante yáṁ havante iṣúmantaṁ gaviṣṭáu | yásminn arkáḥ śiśríye yásminn ójaḥ sá no muñcatv áṁhasaḥ
Whose gracious favour the Soma-offerers crave; whom, arrow-armed, they call upon in cattle-quest; in whom the hymn is firmly set, in whom is strength—may he release us from distress and sin.
