1

Drink this potent elixir filled with offerings: harness your horses here and now. Don't let those other sacrificers hold you back, Indra: these juices are ready for you.

2

You have the juice that flows, and more that will flow: our resounding songs invite you. Oh Indra, pleased by this libation today, come, you who know all and drink the Soma.

3

Whoever, devoted to the God, offers Soma with a longing heart and soul— Indra never gives away his cattle: for him he makes the Soma famous.

4

He looks with loving favor on the mortal who, like a rich man, pours Soma for him. The mighty one supports him with his bended arm: he slays without being asked those who hate devotion.

5

We call upon you to join us, eager for goods and spoils, for cattle and horses. For your new love and favor, we are here: let us invoke you, Indra, for our well-being.
