9. May the universal Gods, who are exempt from decay, omniscient, devoid of malice, and bearers of riches, accept the sacrifice!

10. May Saraswatí, the purifier, the bestower of food, the[164] recompenser of worship with wealth, be attracted by our offered viands to our rite!

11. Saraswatí, the inspirer of those who delight in truth, the instructress of the right-minded, has accepted our sacrifice!

12. Saraswatí makes manifest by her acts a mighty river, and (in her own form) enlightens all understandings.

III.

1. Come, Indra, and be regaled with all viands and libations, and thence, mighty in strength, be victorious (over thy foes)!

2. The libation being prepared, present the exhilarating and efficacious (draught) to the rejoicing Indra, the accomplisher of all things.

3. Indra, with the handsome chin, be pleased with these animating praises: do thou, who art to be reverenced by all mankind, (come) to these rites (with the gods)!

4. I have addressed to thee, Indra, the showerer (of blessings), the protector (of thy worshippers), praises which have reached thee, and of which thou hast approved!

5. Place before us, Indra, precious and multiform riches, for enough, and more than enough, are assuredly thine!
