DRINK Soma juice for mighty power and vigour, drink, Strongest One, that thou mayst smite down Vṛitra. Drink thou, invoked, for strength, and riches: drink thou thy fill of meath and pour it down, O Indra.
10.116.2
a̱sya pi̍ba kṣu̱mata̱ḥ prasthi̍ta̱syendra̱ soma̍sya̱ vara̱m ā su̱tasya̍ |
sva̱sti̱dā mana̍sā mādayasvārvācī̱no re̱vate̱ saubha̍gāya ||
Drink of the foodful juice stirred into motion, drink what thou choosest of the flowing Soma. Giver of weal, be joyful in thy spirit, and turn thee hitherward to bless and prosper.
10.116.3

ma̱mattu̱ yena̱ vari̍vaś ca̱kartha̍ ma̱mattu̱ yena̍ niri̱ṇāsi̱ śatrū̍n ||
Let heavenly Soma gladden thee, O Indra, let that effused among mankind delight thee. Rejoice in that whereby thou gavest freedom, and that whereby thou conquerest thy foemen.

Let Indra come, impetuous, doubly mighty, to the poured juice, the Bull, with two Bay Coursers. With juices pressed in milk, with meath presented, glut evermore thy bolt, O Foe-destroyer.
10.116.5
ni ti̱gmāni̍ bhrā̱śaya̱n bhrāśyā̱ny ava̍ sthi̱rā ta̍nuhi yātu̱jūnā̍m |

Dash down, outffaming their sharp flaming weapons, the strong-holds of the men urged on by demons. I give thee, Mighty One, great strength and conquest: go, meet thy foes and rend them in the battle.
10.116.6
vy a1̱̍rya i̍ndra tanuhi̱ śravā̱ṁsy oja̍ḥ sthi̱reva̱ dhanva̍no̱ 'bhimā̍tīḥ |
a̱sma̱drya̍g vāvṛdhā̱naḥ saho̍bhi̱r ani̍bhṛṣṭas ta̱nva̍ṁ vāvṛdhasva ||
Extend afar the votary's fame and glory, as the firm archer's strength drives off the foeman. Ranged on our side, grown strong in might that conquers, never defeated, still increase thy body.
10.116.7
i̱daṁ ha̱vir ma̍ghava̱n tubhya̍ṁ rā̱tam prati̍ samrā̱ḻ ahṛ̍ṇāno gṛbhāya |

To thee have we presented this oblation: accept it, Sovran Ruler, free from anger. Juice, Maghavan, for thee is pressed and ripened: eat, Indra, drink of that which stirs to meet thee.
10.116.8
a̱ddhīd i̍ndra̱ prasthi̍te̱mā ha̱vīṁṣi̱ cano̍ dadhiṣva paca̱tota soma̍m |

Eat, Indra, these oblations which approach thee: be pleased with food made ready and with Soma. With entertainment we receive thee friendly: effectual be the sacrificer's wishes.
10.116.9

ayā̍ iva̱ pari̍ caranti de̱vā ye a̱smabhya̍ṁ dhana̱dā u̱dbhida̍ś ca ||
I send sweet speech to Indra and to Agni: with hymns I speed it like a boat through waters. Even thus, the Gods seem moving round about me, the fountains and bestowers of our riches.
