Mantra 5
Aindra stotra of invitation and praise: summoning Indra to the Soma with assurance of his inexhaustible giving
क ईं वेद सुते सचा पिबन्तं कद्वयो दधे अयं यः पुरो विभिनत्योजसा मन्दानः शिप्र्यन्धसः
ka īṃ veda sute sacā pibantaṃ kadvayo dadhe ayaṃ yaḥ puro vibhinatyojasā mandānaḥ śipryandhasaḥ
ká īm veda sūté sacā píbantaṃ | kád váyo dadhé | ayáṃ yaḥ púro vibhinatī ójasā | mandānáḥ śípry andhasáḥ3
Wer weiß ihn wahrlich — den, der in Gemeinschaft trinkt, wenn Soma ausgepresst ist? Wo setzt er Kraft ein? — dieser (Indra), vom Soma-Saft berauscht, zerschmettert mit Macht die Burgen.
