Rig Veda 10.24

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

O Indra, drink this Soma, pressed out in the mortar, full of sweets. Send down to us great riches,-at your glad carouse-in thousands, O Most healthy. Thou art waxing great.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

To thee with sacrifices, with oblations, and with lauds we come. Lord of all strength and power, grant-at your glad carouse-the best choice worthy treasure. Thou art waxing great.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Thou who art Lord of precious boons, inciter even of the churl. Guardian of singers, Indra,-at your glad carouse-save us from woe and hatred. Thou art waxing great.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Strong, Lords of Magic power, ye Twain churned the united worlds apart, When ye, implored by Vimada, Nasatyas, forced apart the pair.

5
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

When the united pair were rent asunder all the Gods complained. The Gods to the Nasatyas cried, Bring these together once again.

6
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Sweet be my going forth, and rich in sweets be my approach to home. So, through your Deity, both Gods, enrich us with all pleasantness.
