To this our sacrifice come Ṛbhu, Vibhvan, Vāja, and Indra with the gift of riches, Because this day hath Dhiṣaṇā the Goddess set drink for you: the gladdening draughts have reached you.

वि॒दा॒नासो॒ जन्म॑नो वाजरत्ना उ॒त ऋ॒तुभि॑र्ऋभवो मादयध्वम् | सं वो॒ मदा॒ अग्म॑त॒ सं पुरं॑धिः सु॒वीरा॑म॒स्मे र॒यिमेर॑यध्वम् ||

Knowing your birth and rich in gathered treasure, Ṛbhus, rejoice together with the Ṛtus. The gladdening draughts and wisdom have approached you: send ye us riches with good store of heroes.

Now for the mortal worshipper, O Heroes, for him who served you, was the gift of riches. Drink, Vājas, Ṛbhus! unto you is offered, to gladden you, the third and great libation.

4.34.5

आ वा॑जा या॒तोप॑ न ऋभुक्षा म॒हो न॑रो॒ द्रवि॑णसो गृणा॒नाः | आ व॑: पी॒तयो॑ऽभिपि॒त्वे अह्ना॑मि॒मा अस्तं॑ नव॒स्व॑ इव ग्मन् ||

Come to us, Heroes, Vājas and Ṛbhukṣans, glorified for the sake of mighty treasure. These draughts approach you as the day is closing, as cows, whose calves are newly-born, their stable.

4.34.6

आ न॑पातः शवसो यात॒नोपे॒मं य॒ज्ञं नम॑सा हू॒यमा॑नाः | स॒जोष॑सः सूरयो॒ यस्य॑ च॒ स्थ मध्व॑: पात रत्न॒धा इन्द्र॑वन्तः ||

Ye were not far: we have not left you thirsting, blameless in this our sacrifice, O Ṛbhus. Rejoice you with the Maruts and with Indra, with the Kings, Gods! that ye may give us riches.
