HYMN XLVI. Vayu. Indra-Vayu

1. DRINK the best draught of Soma-juice, O Vayu, at our holy rites:

For thou art he who drinketh first.

2 Come, team-drawn, with thy hundred helps, with Indra, seated in the car,

Vaya, and drink your fill of juice.

3 May steeds a thousand bring you both, Indra. and Vayu, hitherward

To drink the Soma, to the feagt.

4 For ye, O Indra-Vayu, mount the goldenseated car that aids

The sacrifice, that reaches heaven.

5 On far-refulgent chariot come unto the man who offers gifts:

Come, Indra-Vayu, hitherward.

6 Here, Indra-Vayu, is the juice: drink it, accordant with the Gods,

Within the giver's dwelling-place.

7 Hither, O Indra-Vayu, be your journey here unyoke your steeds,

Here for your draught of Soma juice.
