Griffith, [1896]\n1. HASTE forward to us from afar, or, V\u1e5btra-slayer, from anear,\n To meet the offering to the meath.\n 2 Strong are the Soma-draughts; come nigh: the juices fill thee with delight:\n Drink boldly even as thou art wont'.\n 3 Joy, Indra, in the strengthening food et it content thy wish and thought,\n And be delightful to thine heart.\n 4 Come to us thou who hast no foe: we call thee down to hymns of praise,\n In heaven's sublimest realm of light.\n 5 This Soma here expressed with stones and dressed with milk for thy carouse,\n Indra, is offered up to thee.\n 6 Graciously, Indra, hear my call. Come and obtain the draught, and sate\n Thyself with juices blent with milk.\n 7 The Soma, Indra, which is shed in chalices and vats for thee,\n Drink thou, for thou art Lord thereof.\n 8 The Soma seen within the vats, as in the flood the Moon is seen,\n Drink thou, for thou art Lord thereof.\n 9 That which the Hawk brought in his claw, inviolate, through the air to thee,\n Drink thou, for thou art Lord thereof.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 8: HYMN LXXI.
