a Three and thirty in troops the Rudras
Frequent the sky and earth, the destructive ones,
Eleven seated on the waters;
May all of them accept the Soma pressed for the pressing.
b Thou art taken with a support; thou art the leader, thou art the good leader; quicken the sacrifice,
quicken the lord of the sacrifice; guard the pressings; let Visnu guard thee, do thou guard the folk
with thy power; this is thy birthplace; to the all-gods thee!

Vaiçvanara, born for holy order, Agni,

secure, of secure foundation, most secure of the secure, with securest
foundation of those which are secure. This is thy birthplace; to Agni
Vaiçvanara thee!

For our prayers to the pressed drink, the delightful fumes
