Griffith, [1896]\n1. COME to the juice that we have pressed, to Soma, Indra, bleat with milk:\n Come, favouring us, thy Bay-drawn car!\n 2 Come, Indra, to this gladdening drink, placed on the grass, pressed out with stones:\n Wilt thou not drink thy fill thereof?\n 3 To Indra have my songs of praise gone forth, thus rapidly sent hence,\n To turn him to the Soma-draught.\n 4 Hither with songs of praise we call Indra to drink the Soma juice:\n Will he not come to us by lauds?\n 5 Indra, these Somas are expressed. Take them within thy belly, Lord\n Of Hundred Powers, thou Prince of Wealth.\n 6 We know thee winner of the spoil, and resolute in battles, Sage!\n Therefore thy blessing we implore.\n 7 Borne hither by thy Stallions, drink, Indra, this juice which we have pressed,\n Mingled with barley and with milk.\n 8 Indra, for thee, in thine own place, I urge the Soma for thy draught:\n Deep in thy heart let it remain,\n 9 We call on thee, the Ancient One, Indra, to drink the Soma juice,\n We Ku\u015bikas who seek thine aid.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 3: HYMN XLII.
