1 Pleasant to the taste of the Mighty, the Friend, the Nourisher, the Giver of fortune, sped onward with thy flowing stream.

2 Let the Mighty drink of thy juice for wisdom, and all the righteous for strength.

3 So flow thou on as bright celestial juice, flow to the vast, immortal dwelling-place.

4 Flow onward as a mighty sea, as a Source of blessings to every form.

5 Flow on, radiant for the righteous and Heaven and Earth, and bless our progeny.

6 Thou, bright juice, art sustainer of the sky: flow, mighty, in accordance with true Law.

7 Flow splendid with thy copious stream through the great fleece as in the olden time.

8 Born, led by men, joyous, and purified, let the Light-finder make all blessings flow:

9 While cleansed, keeping the people safe, he shall give us all possessions for our own.

10 Flow on for wisdom and for power, as a strong courser bathed, to win the prize.

11 The pressers purify this juice of thine for delight, and lofty fame.

12 They deck the Gold-hued Infant, newly born, in the sieve for the righteous.

13 Fair he hath flowed on for rapturous joy, Sage for good fortune in the waters' lap.

14 He bears the beauteous name of the Mighty, that wherewith he overcame all demon foes.

15 All the righteous are wont to drink of him, pressed by the men and blent with milk and curds.

16 He hath flowed forth with thousand streams poured out, flowed through the filter and the sheep's long wool.

17 With endless genial flow the Strong hath run, purified by the waters, blent with milk.

18 Pressed out with stones, directed by the men, go forth into the throat of the Mighty.

19 The mighty juice with a thousand streams is poured for the Mighty through the cleansing sieve.

20 They balm him with pleasant milky juice for the Mighty, for the Steer, for his delight.

21 Lightly, for sheen, they cleanse thee for the righteous, gold-coloured, wearing water as thy robe.

22 He streams to the Mighty, yea, downward streams, strong, flowing to the floods, and mingling there.
