Beautiful Vāyu, come, for thee these Soma drops have been prepared.
Book 1. Hymn 2. Vayu.
1 Beautiful Vāyu, come, for thee these Soma drops have been prepared: Drink of them, hearken to our call. 2 Knowing the days, with Soma juice poured forth, the singers glorify Thee, Vāyu, with their hymns of praise. 3 Vāyu, thy penetrating stream goes forth unto the worshipper, Far-spreading for the Soma draught. 4 These, Indra-Vāyu, have been shed; come for our offered dainties’ sake: The drops are yearning for you both. 5 Well do ye mark libations, ye Vāyu and Indra, rich in spoil! So come ye swiftly hitherward. 6 Vāyu and Indra, come to what the Soma-presser hath prepared: Soon, Heroes, thus I make my prayer. 7 Mitra, of holy strength, I call, and foe-destroying Varuṇa, Who make the oil-fed rite complete. 8 Mitra and Varuṇa, through Law, lovers and cherishers of Law, Have ye obtained your might power 9 Our Sages, Mitra-Varuṇa, wide dominion, strong by birth, Vouchsafe us strength that worketh well.
