Mantra 10
Indra’s swift, bull-like approach to the Soma-seat and his sure hearing of the stotra
वयमेनमिदा ह्योपीपेमेह वज्रिणम् तस्मा उ अद्य सवने सुतं भरा नूनं भूषत श्रुते
vayamenamidā hyopīpemeha vajriṇam tasmā u adya savane sutaṃ bharā nūnaṃ bhūṣata śrute

نحن، حتى الآن، قد استرضينا هنا صاحب الصاعقة فَجْرِين (إندرا)؛ فلهذا اليوم، عند عصر السُّوما (savane)، احملوا السُّوما المعصور (suta) إليه؛ والآن أكرِموا على الوجه اللائق المشهورَ، المسموعَ (śrute).
