h. If, O Indra, a hundred skies, A hundred earths were thine, Not a thousand suns could match thee at birth, Nor the two worlds.
i. Drink the Soma, O Indra; let it gladden thee, (The Soma) which for thee, O lord of bays, the stone Through the arms of the presser [3], like a horse well guided hath expressed.

q. May the All-gods who further right, Who hearken to the call in due season, Find pleasure in this proper drink.
r. O ye All-gods, hear my invocation, Ye that are in the atmosphere, ye that are in the sky; Ye with Agni as your tongue, worthy of sacrifice, Sit on this strew and rejoice.
