अप तया अस्थुरनिरा अमीवा निरत्रसन तमिषीचीरभैषुः | आ सोमो अस्मानरुहद विहाया अगन्म यत्र परतिरन्त आयुः

IAST Romanisation

apa tyā asthuranirā amīvā niratrasan tamiṣīcīrabhaiṣuḥ | ā somo asmānaruhad vihāyā aghanma yatra pratiranta āyuḥ

English Translation (Griffith)

Our maladies have lost their strength and vanished: they feared, and passed away into the darkness. Soma hath risen in us, exceeding mighty, and we are come where men prolong existence. 12, Fathers, that Indu which our hearts have drunken, Immortal in himself, hath entered mortals. So let us serve this Soma with oblation, and rest securely in his grace and favour.
