I — The Purifying Provision of God

1 Light of the worship, he pours delicious sweetness, most wealthy, the gift of the Creator of the angels. He, gladdening, best of cheerers, juice that the Mighty loves, enriches with mysterious treasure earth and heaven.

2 The Lord of heaven, the vigorous and far-seeing one, flows shouting to the beaker with his thousand streams. Coloured like gold he rests in seats where the Friend dwells, the Steer made beautiful by rivers and by sheep.

3 As purifier thou flowest before the streams: thou goest on, before the hymn, before the kine. Thou sharest mighty booty in the van of war; well-armed, thou art pressed out by men who press.

II — The Purifying Provision of God

1 Through our desire of heroes, kine, and horses, vigorous drops, brilliant and swift, have been effused.

III — The Purifying Provision of God

1 Flow, dear to the righteous, swift through the purifying sieve, and enter the Mighty in thy strength.

2 As mighty food speed hitherward, as a most splendid steer: sit in thy place as one with power.

3 The well-loved sweetness was made to flow, the stream of the creative juice: the Sage drew waters to himself.

4 The mighty waters, yea, the floods accompany thee mighty one, when thou wilt clothe thee with the milk.

5 The lake is brightened in the floods. Our friend, heaven's prop and stay, falls on the purifying cloth.

6 The tawny Bull hath bellowed, fair as the mighty Friend to behold: he gleams and flashes with the sun.

7 Songs, O Mighty, active in their might, are beautified for Thee, wherewith Thou deckest Thee for rapturous joy.

8 To Thee who givest ample room we pray, to win the wild delight, that Thou mayst have exalted praise.

9 Winner of kine art thou, winner of heroes, steeds, and spoil: primeval soul of worship.

10 Pour on us strength from the Mighty with a full stream of sweetness, like the sender of the rain!

IV — The Purifying Provision of God

1 O Purifier, be victorious, win us high renown; and make us better than we are!

2 Win thou the light, win heavenly light, and all felicities; and make us better than we are!

4 Ye purifiers, purify the gift for the Mighty, for His drink; make thou us better than we are!

10 Bring us wealth in steeds brilliant and quickening all life; and make us better than we are!

3 We have accepted thousands from generous hands: swift runs this giver of delight.

4 From whom we have accepted thus thousands and three-times ten besides: swift runs this giver of delight.

VI — The Purifying Provision of God

1 Forth with his stream who gladdens best these juices have been poured, lauded with songs for mighty strength.

2 Thou flowest to enjoy the milk, and bringest valour, being cleansed: winning the spoil flow hitherward.

3 And, hymned by the righteous, let all nourishment that kine supply, and general praises, flow to us!

VII — God the Radiant

1 For the All-knowing, worthy of our praise, will we frame with our mind this eulogy as 'twere a car. For good, in His assembly, is this care of ours. Let us not, in Thy friendship, O God, suffer harm!

2 We will bring fuel and prepare our sacred gifts, reminding Thee at each successive holy time. Fulfil our thoughts that we may lengthen out our lives. Let us not, in Thy friendship, O God, suffer harm!

VIII — God the Friend, the All-Seeing and the Guardian

1 Soon as the sun hath risen I sing to you, to the Friend, the All-Seeing, and the Guardian who slays the foe.

3 May we be Thine, O All-Seeing, and with our princes, O Friend, Thine: may we gain food and heavenly light!

IX — God the Mighty

1 Drive all our enemies away, smite down the foes who press around, and bring the wealth for which we long:

2 Of which the world shall know forthwith as given by Thee abundantly: bring us the wealth for which we long:

3 O Mighty, that which is concealed in strong firm place precipitous: bring us the wealth for which we long!

X — God the Mighty and the Radiant

1 Yea, ye are guides of worship, winners in war and holy works: mark this well!

2 Bountiful, riders on the car, overcomers of the unsubdued evil: mark this well!

3 The men with pressing-stones have pressed this sweetness of yours which gives delight: mark this well!

XI — The Purifying Provision of God

1 For the Mighty, girt by angels, flow, very rich in sweetness, to seat thee in the place of song!

2 Sages who know the lore of speech deck thee, the strong sustainer, well: men make thee bright and beautiful.

3 Let the Friend, the All-Seeing, and the Guardian receive thy juice, yea, thine. Sage! let the angels receive thereof.

XII — The Purifying Provision of God

1 Deft-handed! thou when purified liftest thy voice amid the sea. Thou, purifying, makest riches flow to us, yellow, abundant, much-desired.

2 Made pure, in the sheep's long wool, the Steer hath bellowed in the vat. Thou flowest, balmed with milk, unto the meeting-place of the righteous.

XIII — The Purifying Provision of God

1 Him here, the offspring of the sea, the ten swift fingers beautify: with the boundless ones is he seen.

2 With the Mighty and with the Wind he, effused, flows onward with the beams of the sun to the cleansing sieve.

3 Flow rich in sweets and lovely for our Giver of fortune, the Wind, and the Nourisher, fair for the Friend and for the All-Seeing!

XIV — God the Mighty

1 With the Mighty One splendid feasts be ours, rich in all strengthening things, wherewith, wealthy in food, we may rejoice!

2 Like Thee, Thyself, for singers yoked, Thou movest, as it were besought, bold One, the axle of the car,

3 That, Hundredfold in power, Thou, to serve and please Thy praisers, as it were, stirrest the axle with Thy strength.

XV — God the Mighty

1 As a good cow to him who milks, we call the Doer of good deeds to our assistance day by day.

2 Come Thou to our offerings, accept the gift, Lord of the gift! yea, the rich one's rapture giveth kine.

3 So may we be acquainted with Thine innermost benevolence: neglect us not; come hitherward!

XVI — God the Mighty

1 As, like the Morning, Thou hast filled, O Mighty, both the earth and heaven, so as the mighty One, great King of all the mighty race of men, Thou art the Source and the Giver of life.

2 Thou bearest in Thine hand a lance like a long hook, great counsellor. As with his foremost foot a goat, draw down the branch, O Bountiful. Thou art the Source and the Giver of life.

3 Relax that mortal's stubborn strength whose heart is bent on wickedness. Trample him down beneath Thy feet who watches for and aims at us. Thou art the Source and the Giver of life.

XVII — The Purifying Provision of God

1 The dweller on the hills, effused, hath flowed into the sieve. All-bounteous art thou in delight.

1 Effused is he who brings good things, who brings us store of wealth, and sweet refreshing food, who brings us quiet homes:

XIX — The Purifying Provision of God

1 Friends, hymn your Lord who makes him pure for rapturous delight: let them sweeten him, as a child, with lauds and sacred gifts.

2 Like as a calf with mother cows, so is he urged forth and sent, glorified by our hymns, the juice that delights the righteous.

3 Effectual help to power is he, he is a banquet for the troop, he who hath been effused, more rich in sweetness, for the righteous.

XX — The Purifying Provision of God

1 For us the juices flow, the drops best furtherers of weal, effused as friends, without a spot, benevolent, finders of the light.

2 These juices, skilled in song, purified, blent with milk and curd, hastening on and firmly set in oil, resemble beauteous suns.

3 Effused by means of pressing-stones, upon the oxhide visible, they, treasure-finders, have announced food unto us from every side.

XXI — The Purifying Provision of God

1 Pour forth this wealth with this purification: flow onward to the yellow lake! Here, too, the bright one, wind-swift, full of wisdom, shall give a son to him who cometh quickly.

2 Flow on for us with this purification to the famed ford of thee whose due is glory! May the foe-queller shake us down, for triumph, like a tree's ripe fruit, sixty thousand treasures!
