English translation:

“Soma, pour forth (in a stream of) food, abundant soft-collected (juice), and all good things.”

Stream around to us grain upon grain, fruiting upon fruiting with your stalk, o Soma, and all the gifts of good fortune.

As noted in the published introduction, this vs. is unusual in its reference to agriculture (see Ober. RdR II.118), in particular to ‘grain, barley’ (yáva-) in pāda a. Perhaps the fact that soma is a plant, and that its stalk (ándhas-) is prominent in this hymn, accounts for the implication that Soma has the ability to provide us with grain and its accompanying fruitfulness (puṣṭá-). It may also be an oblique ref. to the occasional mixing of soma with grain; see the enigmatic expression in IX.68.4.

POUR on us with thy juice all kinds of corn, each sort of nourishment,
And, Soma, all felicities.

Ströme uns mit deinem Tranke, o Soma, Korn über Korn, Wachstum über Wachstum zu, und alle Glücksgüter!

O ströme rings durch deinen Saft uns Korn auf Korn und Gut auf Gut Und alles Glück, o Soma, zu.

English translation:

“Indu, since the praise of you as food, since your birth (has appeared), sit down upon the grass that plural ases (you).”

O drop, just as there is praise of you (now), just as (the honey) has been born from your stalk,
(so) sit down on the dear ritual grass.

According to the opinio communis (Geldner, Renou, Lüders 204 [of IX.61.10], Klein DGRV I.402), jātám ándhasaḥ in pāda b (and the same expression in IX.61.10) contains a substantivized neut. ppl. jātám ‘birth’ with dep. gen. (e.g., Geldner “die Geburt deines Tranks”).

However, IX.18.2 mádhu prá jātám ándhasaḥ “the honey born from the stalk” suggests that ‘honey’ (vel sim.) should be supplied here as well, with ándhasaḥ an abl. of source, though Renou specifically rejects IX.18.2 as relevant for this passage.

The function of the two yáthā clauses is not altogether clear. I assume that they refer to the two prerequisites for the soma sacrifice: the verbal portion with its praise of the god Soma and the physical production of the ritual substance soma. With both accomplished, the god Soma can take his place on the ritual ground.

On injunc. sadaḥ as a functional impv. see comm. ad IX.2.2 and Hoffmann (Injunk. 263).

As thine, O Indu, is the praise, and thine what springeth from the juice,
Seat thee on the dear sacred grass.

Da ja dir der Lobpreis gebührt, o Saft, da ja die Geburt deines Tranks geschehen ist, so laß dich auf dem lieben Barhis nieder!

Da dein ist, Indu, alles Lob und dein was aus dem Kraut entquoll, So setz dich auf die liebe Streu,

‘by reason (or by means) of the days quickly passing’

And as cow-finder for us, horse-finder, purify yourself, Soma, with your stalk through the days soonest to come.

And, finding for us kine and steeds, O Soma, with thy juice flow on
Through days that fly most rapidly.

Und läutere dich, o Soma, mit deinem Tranke für uns als Rinderfinder, Rossefinder in den allernächsten Tagen!

Und riesle hell durch deinen Saft, o Soma, spendend Ross und Rind In allernächsten Tagen uns.

English translation:

“Flow forth, O conqueror of thousands, who conquers and is not conquered, and attacking slays his foe.”

Who conquers and is not conquered, who smashes his rival on just confronting him—
as such a one, purify yourself, o winner of thousands.

As Renou points out, jinā́ti must belong to √jyā, so jī́yate, which is ambig. between √ji and √jyā, surely belongs to the latter as well. The tr. should be slightly emended to “who overpowers but is not overpowered.” The standard interpr. of the syntactic structure of the passage (Geldner, Renou, Ober RdR II.168, as well as the published translation) takes pādas a and b as all part of the rel. cl. introduced by initial yáḥ, with c as the main cl. and Soma as the subject both of ab and of c. This involves a shift in person, from 3rd (ab jinā́ti … jī́yate … hánti) to 2nd (c pavasva). Of course such shifts are commonplace in the RV, and in this case the sá introducing c is used by most tr. as a pivot (“as such”). However, the presence of sá is fully explained by its regular use with 2nd sg. impvs. (see my “sá figé” article) and need have nothing to do with the shift of person. I do think the standard interpr. of the vs. is probably right (even without the sá pivot), but I would point out that it’s not the only syntactically possible analysis: the rel. cl.

could encompass only pāda a, with b as the main cl. The accent on the verb in b, hánti, would be accounted for by its initial position in the pāda. The vs. could then be rendered “Who overpowers and is not overpowered, he smashes his rival on just confronting him.

Purify yourself …” The referent of the 3rd ps. in ab could still be Soma, but it could instead be the person for whom Soma purifies himself, with the happy results on the battlefield that arise from possessing the purified soma.

As one who conquers, ne’er subdued, attacks and stays the enemy,
Thus, Vanquisher of thousands! flow.

Der überwältigt, aber nicht überwältigt wird, der den Feind erschlägt, wenn er ihn angreift, als solcher läutere dich, du Tausendsieger!

Der stets du siegst, nie unterliegst, den Feind erreichst und ihn erschlägst, Viel Gut erbeutend riesle hell.
