Griffith, [1896]\n1. SING; ye aloud, O friends, to him who makes him pure for gladdening drink:\n They shall make sweet the Child with sacrifice and laud.\n 2 Like as a calf with mother cows, so Indu is urged forth and sent,\n Glorified by our hymns, the God-delighting juice.\n 3 Effectual means of power is he, he is a banquet for the Troop,\n He who hath been effused, most rich in meath, for Gods.\n 4 Flow to us, Indu, passing, strong, effused, with wealth of kine and steeds:\n I will spread forth above the milk thy radiant hue.\n 5 Lord of the tawny, Indu thou who art the God's most special food,\n As Friend to friend, for splendour be thou good to men.\n 6 Drive utterly, far away from us each godless, each voracious foe.\n O Indu, overcome and drive the false afar.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 9: HYMN CV.
