Rig Veda 3.36.3: Mandala 3, Sukta 36, Mantra 3

Sukta 3.36

Rishi: Viśvāmitra Gāthina (traditional attribution for Maṇḍala 3); for 3.36 specifically, Viśvāmitra is the standard Anukramaṇī rishi for the hymn.
Devata: Indra (with Soma as the offered power/oblation).
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable for RV 3.36; verse-length and cadence align with Triṣṭubh usage in Indra hymns).
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

पिबा वर्धस्व तव घा सुतास इन्द्र सोमासः प्रथमा उतेमे । यथापिबः पूर्व्याँ इन्द्र सोमाँ एवा पाहि पन्यो अद्या नवीयान् ॥

Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 3.36.3

Translation

Trink und wachse in deiner Kraft: für dich, o Indra, sind diese gepressten Somas die ersten Gaben, und auch diese hier. Wie du die früheren, uralten Somas trankst, o Indra, so trink auch heute, o Verehrenswerter, diese stets neueren, wonnigen Ströme.
