In plain words

Where all joys, gladness, delight and rapture abide, where every desire is fulfilled and aloneness shines through the cessation of all—make me immortal there for a long time, in that dense Ānanda. ‘O Soma, give the nectar-filled stream to Indra who dwells between the brows’: so too speak the words of the Veda.
