Rig Veda 3.41

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Invoked to drink the Soma juice, come with thy Bay Steeds, Thunder-armed Come, Indra, hitherward to me.

2
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Our priest is seated, true to time; the grass is regularly strewn; The pressing-stones were set at morn.

3
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

These prayers, O thou who hearest prayer are offered: seat thee on the grass. Hero, enjoy the offered cake.

4
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

O Vritra-slayer, be thou pleased with these libations, with these hymns, Song-loving Indra, with our lauds.

5
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Our hymns caress the Lord of Strength, vast, drinker of the Soma's juice, Indra, as mother-cows their calf.

6
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Delight thee with the juice we pour for thine own great munificence: Yield not thy singer to reproach.

7
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

We, Indra, dearly loving thee, bearing oblation, sing thee hymns Thou, Vasu, dearly lovest us.

8
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

O thou to whom thy Bays are dear, loose not thy Horses far from us: Here glad thee, Indra, Lord divine.

9
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

May long-maned Coursers, dropping oil, bring thee on swift car hitherward, Indra, to seat thee on the grass.
