32. The rite with sacred grass, wine, store of heroes, the mighty ones speed on with adorations. May we, sweet-singing sacrificers, setting Soma mid Gods in heaven, give joy to Indra.
33. All essence of thine own in plants collected, all strength of Soma when poured out with Surâ— Therewith impel with joy the sacrifice, Sarasvatî, the Asvins, Indra, Agni.
34. That which Sarasvatî poured out for Indra, by Asvins brought from Namuchi the demon, This flowing drop, brilliant and full of sweetness, I drink and feed on here, the King, the Soma.
35. Whatever portion of the savoury fluid is clinging here, what Indra drank with powers, That drop thereof with pure and holy spirit I drink and feed upon, the King, the Soma.
36. To Fathers who claim Svadhâ be Svadhâ and homage! To Grandfathers who claim Svadhâ be Svadhâ and homage! To Great-grandfathers who claim Svadhâ be Svadhâ and homage! The Fathers have eaten. The Fathers have rejoiced. The Fathers have been satisfied, Fathers, be ye purified.
37. Cleanse me the Fathers who enjoy Soma! Grandfathers make me clean! May Great-grandfathers cleanse me with a sieve that brings a century. May my Grandfathers cleanse me, may my Great-grand-fathers make me clean. With sieve that brings a century may I obtain full length of life.
38. Agni, thou poorest life: send down upon us food and vigorous strength. Drive thou misfortune far away.
39. Cleanse me the companies of Gods! May thoughts with spirit make me clean. Cleanse me all things that be! Do thou, O Jâtavedas, make me clean.
40. Purify me, O Agni, God, refulgent with thy pure bright sieve, With powers according to thine own.
41. O Agni, may the cleansing sieve, diffused through all thy fiery glow, Holy devotion, make me clean.
42. May Pavamâna with his sieve, Guest of all tribes, cleanse us to-day, He who is Cleanser make us clean.
43. Savitar, God, by both of these, libation, purifying power, Purify me on every side.
44. Dear to all Gods hath come the cleansing Goddess, she who contains these many smooth-backed figures. Through her may we in sacrificial banquets taking our pleasure be the lords of riches.
45. The Fathers who in Yama’s realm are equal and unanimous— Their world is Svadhâ, reverence. To Gods let sacrifice be paid.
46. Equals, unanimous, my folk yet living among those who live— On me be set their glory through a hundred years in this our world.
47. I have heard mention of two several pathways, way of the Fathers, way of Gods and mortals. On these two roads each moving creature travels, each thing between the Father and the Mother.
48. May this my sacrifice bring store of children, with ten brave sons, full-companied, for welfare— Life-winning, winning offspring, winning cattle, winning this world of ours and peace and safety. May Agni make nay progeny abundant. Do ye confer food, milk, and wanly vigour.
49. May they ascend, the lowest, highest, midmost, the Fathers who deserve a share of Soma. May Fathers who have gained the world of spirits, gentle and righteous, aid us when we call them.
50. Our Fathers are Angirases, Navagvas, Atharvans, Bhrigus, who deserve the Soma. May these the holy look on us with favour: may we enjoy their gracious loving-kindness.
51. Our ancient Fathers who deserve the Soma, who came, most noble, to our Soma banquet— With these let Yama, yearning with the yearning, rejoicing eat our offerings at his pleasure.
52. Thou, Soma, art preeminent for wisdom: along the straightest path thou art our leader. Our prudent Fathers by thy wisdom, Soma, dealt out among the Gods their share of treasure.
53. For our sage Fathers, Soma Pavamâna, of old performed by thee their sacred duties. Fighting unvanquished, open the enclosures: enrich us with large gifts of steeds and heroes.
54. Associate with the Fathers thou, O Soma, hast spread thyself abroad through earth and heaven. So with oblation let us serve thee, Indu, and so let us become the lords of riches.
55. Fathers who sit on sacred grass, come help us: these offerings we have made for you; accept them. So come to us with most auspicious favour, and give us health and strength without a trouble.
56. I have attained the gracious-minded Fathers, have gained a son and progeny from Vishnu. They who enjoy pressed juices with oblation, seated on sacred grass, come oftenest hither.
57. May they, the Fathers, worthy of the Soma, invited to their favourite oblations Laid on the sacred grass, come nigh and listen: may they be gracious unto us and bless us.
58. May they our Fathers whom the flames have tasted, worthy of Soma, come on God-ward pathways. Enjoying at this sacrifice their portion, may they be gracious unto us and bless us.
59. Fathers whom Agni’s flames have tasted, come ye nigh: ye kindly leaders, take ye each your proper place. Eat sacrificial food presented on the grass: grant riches with a multitude of hero sons.
60. For those who, burnt with fire or not cremated, joy in their portion in the midst of heaven, May the Self-Ruler form the world of spirits and this their body as his pleasure wills it.
61. We call the Agnishvâttas, true to seasons, those who drank Soma in the Nârâsamsa. Prompt to give ear to us be they, the sages, and then let us be lords of wealth and treasure.
62. Bowing the bended knee and seated southward, accept ye, all, this sacrifice with favour. Injure us not for any sin, O Fathers, which we through human frailty have committed.
