Come to the juice that we have pressed, to Sorna, Indra, bleat with milk: Come, favouring us, thy Bay-drawn car!

Come, Indra, to this gladdening drink, placed on the grass, pressed out with stones: Wilt thou not drink thy fill thereof?

To Indra have my songs of praise gone forth, thus rapidly sent hence, To turn him to the Soma-draught.

4
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Hither with songs of praise we call Indra to drink the Soma juice: Will he not come to us by lauds?

5

Indra, these Somas are expressed. Take them within thy belly, Lord Of Hundred Powers, thou Prince of Wealth.

6
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

We know thee winner of the spoil, and resolute in battles, Sage! Therefore thy blessing we implore.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Borne hither by thy Stallions, drink, Indra, this juice which we have pressed, Mingled with barley and with milk.

Indra, for thee, in thine own place, I urge the Soma for thy draught: Deep in thy heart let it remain,

We call on thee, the Ancient One, Indra, to drink the Soma juice, We Kusikas who seek thine aid.
