Sukta 2
इन्द्रो॑ ब्र॒ह्मा ब्राह्म॑णात् सु॒ष्टुभः॑ स्व॒र्कादृ॒तुना॒ सोमं॑ पिबतु
índro bráhmā brā́hmaṇāt suṣṭúbhaḥ svarkā́d ṛtúnā sómaṁ pibatu
Let Indra—(as) the Brahman—duly hymned, from the Brahman’s station, from the bright heaven, in season and in right order, drink the Soma.
Möge Indra — als Brahman — recht gepriesen, vom Sitz des Brahman, vom lichten Himmel her, zur rechten Zeit und nach der rechten Ordnung, den Soma trinken.
