Rig Veda 2.36

1
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Water and milk hath he endued, sent forth to thee: the men have drained him with the filters and the stones. Drink, Indra, from the Hotar's bowl first right is thine-Soma hallowed and poured with Vashat and Svaha.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Busied with sacrifice, with spotted deer and spears, gleaming upon your way with ornaments, yea, our Friends, Sitting on sacred grass, ye Sons of Bharata, drink Soma from the Potar's bowl, O Men of heaven.

3
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Come unto us, ye swift to listen: as at home upon the sacred grass sit and enjoy yourselves. And, Tvashtar, well-content be joyful in the juice with Gods and Goddesses in gladsome company.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Bring the Gods hither, Sage, and offer sacrifice: at the three altars seat thee willingly, O Priest. Accept for thy delight the proffered Soma meath: drink from the Kindler's bowl and fill thee with thy share.

5
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

This is the strengthener of thy body's manly might: strength, victory for all time are placed within thine arms. Pressed for thee, Maghavan, it is offered unto thee: drink from the chalice of this Brahman, drink thy fill.

6
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Accept the sacrifice; mark both of you, my call: the Priest hath seated him after the ancient texts. My prayer that bids them come goes forth to both the Kings: drink ye the Soma meath from the Director's bowl.
