10.154.1

सोम॒ एके॑भ्यः पवते घृ॒तमेक॒ उपा॑सते ।
येभ्यो॒ मधु॑ प्र॒धाव॑ति॒ तांश्चि॑दे॒वापि॑ गच्छतात् ॥

Soma flows with ghee for some, and some sit beside them. Let it reach those for whom the honey flows forth.

तप॑सा॒ ये अ॑नाधृ॒ष्यास्तप॑सा॒ ये स्व॑र्य॒युः ।
तपो॒ ये च॑क्रि॒रे मह॒स्तांश्चि॑दे॒वापि॑ गच्छतात् ॥

Those who through austerity became unassailable, who through austerity went to heaven, who performed great austerity: to them may it also go.

ये युध्य॑न्ते प्र॒धने॑षु॒ शूरा॑सो॒ ये त॑नू॒त्यजः॑ ।
ये वा॑ स॒हस्र॑दक्षिणा॒स्तांश्चि॑दे॒वापि॑ गच्छतात् ॥

Those heroes who fight in contests, the brave who give up their bodies, or who give a thousand gifts: to them may it also go.

ये चि॒त्पूर्व॑ ऋत॒साप॑ ऋ॒तावा॑न ऋता॒वृधः॑ ।
पि॒तॄन्तप॑स्वतो यम॒ तांश्चि॑दे॒वापि॑ गच्छतात् ॥

To the ancient fathers who kept truth, who possessed truth and strengthened truth, O Yama, to the fervent fathers may it also go.

स॒हस्र॑णीथाः क॒वयो॒ ये गो॑पा॒यन्ति॒ सूर्य॑म् ।
ऋषी॒न्तप॑स्वतो यम तपो॒जाँ अपि॑ गच्छतात् ॥

The poets of a thousand guides, who guard the sun; O Yama, to the fervent seers, born of austerity, may it also go.
