Kapali Shastri

Translation

Tr. We call to this libation in sacrifice the valiant ones; may Indra and Agni come hither.

Commentary

sutam in which Soma is pressed out (like cows drunk, cows that have drunk the water, Brahmins eaten, Brahmins who have eaten the food. Similarly sacrifice pressed, that is in which Soma is pressed); idam this savanam sacrifice; upa to approach; ugrā the valiant; santā the Gods who are overpowering in the destruction of the haters of sacrifice; havāmahe we call; indrāgni Indra and Agni; iha to this our sacrifice; āgacchatam may they come.
