This drop that has penetrated our hearts, O Fathers, this Soma, immortal deep within us mortals, him would we honor with our oblations. We long to abide in his grace and favor.

In an intimate union with the Fathers, O Soma, you have extended yourself throughout Earth and Heaven. You would we honor with our oblations, desirous of becoming possessors of riches.

O guardian Gods, pronounce on us blessing! Let sleep not overtake us nor useless talk. May we forever be dear to Soma! Having won the mastery, let us speak wisdom!

Which are the Adityas? asked Sakalya. There are twelve months in the year. These are the Adityas, because they move along carrying (adadanah) all this with them; therefore they are called Adityas.
