The barhis is strewn: come to us to feast, with a thousand teams, O lord of teams, with hundreds, O lord of teams; for to thee, a god, the gods have submitted for the first drink. Thy pressed, honey-rich (juices) have risen forth, risen for rapture, for power.

STREWN is the sacred grass; come Vâyu, to our feast, with team of thousands, come, Lord of the harnessed team, with hundreds, Lord of harnessed steeds!

These somas of yours, pressed in the waters, here borne by the adhvaryus, have been held out, O Vāyu, the bright ones have been held out. These swift ones have been poured out toward you across the filter, longing for you two, across the hairs of the sheep, the somas across the wool.

These Soma juices pressed for you in waters here, borne by attendant priests, are oficredup to you: bright, Vâyu, are they offered up. Swift through the strainer have they flowed, and here are shed for both ofyou, Soma-drops, fain for you, over the wether's fleece, Somas over the wether's fleece.

Just there you two convey that libation of sweetness — the aśvattha which the victorious ones attend; may those victories be ours. Together the cows bring forth, the barley ripens; thy milch-cows, O Vāyu, do not fail, thy milch-cows do not run dry.

इमे ये ते सु वायो बाह्वोजसो ऽन्तर् नदी ते पतयन्त्य् उक्षणो महि व्राधन्त उक्षणः । धन्वञ् चिद् ये अनाशवो जीराश् चिद् अगिरौकसः । सूर्यस्येव रश्मयो दुर्नियन्तवो हस्तयोर् दुर्नियन्तवः

These of thine, O Vāyu, strong in the arms, thy oxen, fly between the two rivers, thy greatly waxing oxen; who even on dry land are not swift, yet are quick, not dwelling in the hills(?). Like the rays of the sun they are hard to rein in, hard to rein in with the hands.

These Bulls of thine, O Vâyu with the arm of strength, who swiftly fly within the current of thy stream, the Bulls increasing in their might, Horseless, yet even through the waste swift-moving, whom no shout can stay, Hard to be checked are they, like sunbeams, in their course. hard to be checked by both the hands.
