Rig Veda 6.23

suta it tvaṃ nimiśla indra some stome brahmaṇi śasyamāna ukthe yad vā yuktābhyām maghavan haribhyām bibhrad vajram bāhvor indra yāsi

Thou art attached to pressed-out Soma, Indra, at laud, at prayer, and when the hymn is chanted; Or when with yoked Bays, Maghavan, thou comest, O Indra, bearing in thine arms the thunder.

yad vā divi pārye suṣvim indra vṛtrahatye 'vasi śūrasātau yad vā dakṣasya bibhyuṣo abibhyad arandhayaḥ śardhata indra dasyūn

Or when on that decisive day thou holpest the presser of the juice at Vritra's slaughter; Or when thou, while the strong one feared, undaunted, gavest to death, Indra, the daring Dasyus.

pātā sutam indro astu somam praṇenīr ugro jaritāram ūtī kartā vīrāya suṣvaya u lokaṃ dātā vasu stuvate kīraye cit

Let Indra drink the pressed-out Soma, Helper and mighty Guide of him who sings his praises. He gives the hero room who pours oblations, and treasure even to the lowly singer.

ganteyānti savanā haribhyām babhrir vajram papiḥ somaṃ dadir gāḥ kartā vīraṃ naryaṃ sarvavīraṃ śrotā havaṃ gṛṇata stomavāhāḥ

E'en humble rites with his Bay steeds he visits: he wields the bolt, drinks Soma, gives us cattle. He makes the valiant rich in store of heroes, accepts our praise and hears the singer's calling.

asmai vayaṃ yad vāvāna tad viviṣma indrāya yo naḥ pradivo apas kaḥ sute some stumasi śaṃsad ukthendrāya brahma vardhanaṃ yathāsat

What he hath longed for we have brought to Indra, who from the days of old hath done us service. While Soma flows we will sing hymn, and laud him, so that our prayer may streng. then Indra's vigour.

brahmāṇi hi cakṛṣe vardhanāni tāvat ta indra matibhir viviṣmaḥ sute some sutapāḥ śantamāni rāṇḍyā kriyāsma vakṣaṇāni yajñaiḥ

Thou hast made prayer the means of thine exalting, therefore we wait on thee with hymns, O Indra. May we, by the pressed Soma, Somadrinker! bring thee, with sacrifice, blissful sweet refreshment.

sa no bodhi puroﾱāśaṃ rarāṇaḥ pibā tu somaṃ goṛjīkam indra edam barhir yajamānasya sīdoruṃ kṛdhi tvāyata u lokam

Mark well our sacrificial cake, delighted Indra, drink Soma and the milk commingled. Here on the sacrificer's grass be seated: give ample room to thy devoted servant.

sa mandasvā hy anu joṣam ugra pra tvā yajñāsa ime aśnuvantu preme havāsaḥ puruhūtam asme ā tveyaṃ dhīr avasa indra yamyāḥ

O Mighty One, be joyful as thou willest. Let these our sacrifices reach and find thee; And may this hymn and these our invocations turn thee, whom many men invoke, to help us.

taṃ vaḥ sakhāyaḥ saṃ yathā suteṣu somebhir īm pṛṇatā bhojam indram kuvit tasmā asati no bharāya na suṣvim indro 'vase mṛdhāti

Friends, when thejuices flow, replenish duly your own, your bounteous Indra with the Soma. Will it not aid him to support us? Indra. spares him who sheds the juice to win his favour.

eved indraḥ sute astāvi some bharadvājeṣu kṣayad in maghonaḥ asad yathā jaritra uta sūrir indro rāyo viśvavārasya dātā

While Soma flowed, thus Indra hath been lauded, Ruler of nobles, mid the Bharadvajas, That Indra may become the singer's patron and give him wealth in every kind of treasure.
