Atharva Veda 7.72

1
English · William Dwight Whitney

Stand ye up; look down at Indra's seasonable portion; if cooked, do ye offer [it]: if uncooked, do ye wait (mad).

2
English · William Dwight Whitney

The oblation [is] cooked; hither, O Indra, please come forward; the sun hath gone to the mid-point of his way; [thy] companions wait upon (pari-ās) thee with treasures (nidhí), as heads of families on a chieftain (vrājapatí) as he goes about.

3
English · William Dwight Whitney

Cooked I think [it] in the udder, cooked in the fire; well cooked I think [it], that newer rite (? ṛtá); of the curds of the midday libation drink thou, O thunderbolt-bearing Indra, much-doing, enjoying [it].
