Griffith, [1896]\n1. LET Indra drink, All-hail! for his is Soma,\u2014the mighty Bull come, girt by Maruts, hither.\n Far-reaching, let him fill him with these viands, and let our offering sate his body's longing.\n 2 I yoke thy pair of trusty Steeds for swiftness, whose faithful service from of old thou lovest.\n Here, fair of cheek! let thy Bay Coursers place thee: drink of this lovely welleffused libation.\n 3 With milk they made Indra their good Preserver, lauding for help and rule the bounteous rainer.\n Impetuous God, when thou hast drunk the Soma, enraptured send us cattle in abundance.\n 4 With kine and horses satisfy this longing with very splendid bounty still extend it.\n Seeking the light, with hymns to thee, O Indra, the Ku\u015bikas have brought their gift, the singers.\n 5 Call we on Maghavan, auspicious Indra, best Hero in the fight where spoil is gathered;\n The Strong, who listens, who gives aid in battles, who slays the V\u1e5btras, wins and gathers riches.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 3: HYMN L.
