Griffith, [1895]\n1These two dear Bays bring hither Indra on his car, thunder-\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0armed, joyous, meet for laud, to drink his fill.\n \u00a0\u00a0Many libations flow for him who loveth them: to Indra have:\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0the gold-hued Soma juices run.\n 2The gold-hued drops have flowed to gratify his wish: the yellow.\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0drops have urged the swift Bays to the Strong.\n \u00a0\u00a0He who speeds on with bay steeds even as he lists hath satisfied\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0his longing for the golden drops.\n 3At the swift draught the Soma-drinker waxed in might, the iron.\n \u00a0\u00a0One with yellow beard and golden hair,\n \u00a0\u00a0He, Lord of tawny coursers. Lord of fleet-foot mares, will bear\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0his bay steeds safely over all distress.\n 4His yellow-coloured jaws, like ladles, move apart, what time,.\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0for strength, he makes the yellow-tinted stir,\n \u00a0\u00a0When. while the bowl stands there, he grooms his tawny steeds,\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0when he hath drunk strong drink, the sweet juice that he:\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0loves.\n 5Yea, to the dear one's seat in homes of heaven and earth the-\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0bay steeds' Lord hath whinnied like a horse for food.\n \u00a0\u00a0Then the great wish hath seized upon him mightily, and the\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0beloved One hath gained high power of life.","title":"Atharva Veda: Book 20: Hymn 31","type":"page"}
