Griffith, [1896]\n1. SONG-LOVER! like a charioteer come songs to thee when Soma flows.\n O Indra, they have called to thee as mother-kine unto their calves.\n 2 Bright juices bitherward have sped thee, Indra, Lover of the Song.\n Drink, Indra, of this flowing sap: in every house \u2019tis set for thee.\n 3 Drink Soma to inspirit thee, juice, Indra, which the Falcon brought:\n For thou art King and Sovran Lord of all the families of men.\n 4 O Indra, hear Tirasci's call, the call of him who serveth thee.\n Satisfy him with wealth of kine and valiant offspring: Great art thou.\n 5 For he, O Indra, hath produced for thee the newest gladdening song,\n A hymn that springs from careful thought, ancient, and full of sacred truth.\n 6 That Indra will we laud whom songs and hymns of praise have magnified.\n Striving to win, we celebrate his many deeds of hero might.\n 7 Come now and let us glorify pure Indra with pure S\u0101ma hymns.\n Let the pure milky draught delight him strengthened by pure songs of praise.\n 8 O Indra, come thou pure to us, with pure assistance, pure thyself.\n Pure, send thou riches down to us, and, meet for Soma, pure, be glad.\n 9 O Indra, pure, vouchsafe us wealth, and, pure, enrich the worshipper.\n Pure, thou dost strike the V\u1e5btras dead, and strivest, pure, to win the spoil.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 8: HYMN LXXXIV.
