Book 4, Hymn XLIX. Indra-Bṛhaspati
1. DEAR is this offering in your mouth, O Indra and Bṛhaspati:
Famed is the laud, the gladdening draught.
2 This lovely Soma is effused, O Indra and Bṛhaspati,
For you, to drink it and rejoice.
3 As Soma-drinkers to our house come, Indra and Bṛhaspati-and Indra-to drink Soma juice.
4 Vouchsafe us riches hundredfold, O Indra, and Bṛhaspati,
With store of horses, thousandfold.
5 O Indra. and Bṛhaspati, we call you when the meath is shed,
With songs, to drink the Soma juice.
6 Drink, Indra and Bṛhaspati, the Soma in the giver's house:
Delight yourselves abiding there.
