Sukta 1
सोमेनादित्या बलिनः सोमेन पृथिवी मही। अथो नक्षत्राणामेषामुपस्थे सोम आहितः
soména ādityā́ balínaḥ soména pṛthivī́ mahī́ | átho nákṣatrāṇām eṣā́m upásthe sóma ā́hitaḥ ||
By Soma are the Ādityas made strong; by Soma the broad Earth is made great. Moreover, in the bosom of these constellations Soma is laid up and established.
Nhờ Soma, các Āditya trở nên cường mạnh; nhờ Soma, Trái Đất rộng lớn trở nên vĩ đại. Lại nữa, trong lòng của các chòm sao ấy, Soma được đặt xuống và an lập.
