पाहि गायान्धसो मद इन्द्राय मेध्यातिथे । यः सम्मिश्लो हर्योर्यः सुते सचा वज्री रथो हिरण्ययः ॥

pā́hi gāyāndhaso máda índrāya medhyātithe | yáḥ sáṃmiślo háryor yáḥ suté sácā vajrī́ rátho hiraṇyáyaḥ ||

Behüte und besinge die Trunkenheit aus Somasaft für Indra, o Medhyātithi; denn sein ist das angeschirrte Zusammengehen der beiden fahlen Rosse, sein ist der goldene Wagen mit dem Vajra, der in Gemeinschaft mit dem gepressten Soma fährt, damit die sieghafte Kraft in uns gefestigt werde.
