Griffith, [1896]\n1. THEE, Indra, we invoke, the Bull, what time the Soma is expressed.\n So drink thou of the savoury juice.\n 2 Indra, whom many laud, accept the strength-conferring Soma juice:\n Quaff, pour down drink that satisfies.\n 3 Indra, with all the Gods promote our wealth-bestowing sacrifice,\n Thou highly-lauded Lord of men.\n 4 Lord of the brave, to thee proceed these drops of Soma juice expressed,\n The bright drops to thy dwelling-place.\n 5 Within thy belly, Indra, take juice, Soma the most excellent: Thine are the drops celestial.\n 6 Drink our libation, Lord of hymns: with streams of meath thou art bedewed\n Our glory, Indra, is thy gift.\n 7 To Indra go the treasures of the worshipper, which never fail:\n He drinks the Soma and is strong\n 8 From far away, from near at hand, O V\u1e5btra-slayer, come to us:\n Accept the songs we sing to thee.\n 9 When from the space between the near and far thou art invoked by us,\n Thence, Indra. come thou hitherward.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 3: HYMN XL.
