1. These
Soma juice mixt with curd have been expressed for Indra here:
Come with thy bay steeds,
Thunder-wielder, to our home, to drink them till they make thee glad!
2. Indra,
these Somas with their lauds have been prepared for thy delight.
Drink of the pleasant juice
and listen to our songs; lover of song, reward the hymn!
3. I call
on thee, Sabardugha, this day, inspirer of the psalm.
Indra, the richly-yielding
milch-cow who provides unfailing food in ample stream.
4. Indra,
the strong and lofty hills are powerless to bar thy way
None stays that act of
thine when thou wouldst fain give wealth to one like me who sings thy praise.
5. Who
knows what vital power he wins, drinking beside the flowing juice?
This is the fair-cheeked.
God who, joying in the draught, breaks down the castles in his strength.
6. What
time thou castest from his seat and punishest the riteless man,
Strengthen for opulence, O
Indra Maghavan, our plant desired by many a one!
7. Let
Tvashtar, Brahmanaspati, Parjanya guard our heavenly word,
Aditi with her sons, the
brothers, guard for us the invincible, the saving word!
8. Ne'er
art thou fruitless, Indra, ne'er dost thou desert the worshipper:
But now, O Maghavan, thy
bounty as a God is poured forth ever more and more.
9. Best
slayer of the Vritras, yoke thy bay steeds, Indra, far away
Come with the high ones
hither, Maghavan, to us, mighty, to, drink the Soma juice!
10. O Thunderer,
zealous worshippers gave thee drink this time yesterday:
So, Indra, listen here to
him who offers lauds: come near unto, our dwelling-place!
