Griffith, [1896]\n1 O COME ye hither, sit ye down: to Indra sing ye forth, your song,\n companions, bringing hymns of praise.\n 2 To him the richest of the rich, the Lord of treasures excellent,\n Indra, with Soma juice outpoured.\n 3 May he stand by us in our need and in abundance for our wealth:\n May he come nigh us with his strength.\n 4 Whose pair of tawny horses yoked in battles foemen challenge not:\n To him, to Indra sing your song.\n 5 Nigh to the Soma-drinker come, for his enjoyment, these pure drops,\n The Somas mingled with the curd.\n 6 Thou, grown at once to perfect strength, wast born to drink the Soma juice,\n Strong Indra, for pre\u00ebminence.\n 7 O Indra, lover of the song, may these quick Somas enter thee:\n May they bring bliss to thee the Sage.\n 8 Our chants of praise have strengthened thee, O \u015aatakratu, and our lauds\n So strengthen thee the songs we sing.\n 9 Indra, whose succour never fails, accept these viands thousandfold,\n Wherein all manly powers abide.\n 10 O Indra, thou who lovest song, let no man hurt our bodies, keep\n Slaughter far from us, for thou canst.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda Book 1: HYMN V.
