"To him your matchless Mighty One, unconquerable Conqueror, Sing forth the prayer which Gods have given:"

"Hither let these thy Bays who share thy banquet, Steeds with golden manes, Convey thee to the feast prepared."

"Hither, O thou whom many laud, the Bays whom Priyamedha praised, Shall bring thee to the Soma-draught."
