Mantra 3
Aindra Soma-stuti: urging the Soma-offering and praising Indra’s greatness as the giver of wealth and victory
तं ते मदं गृणीमसि वृषणं पृक्षु सासहिम् उ लोककृत्नुमद्रिवो हरिश्रियम्
taṃ te madaṃ gṛṇīmasi vṛṣaṇaṃ pṛkṣu sāsahim u lokakṛtnumadrivo hariśriyam

Wir besingen jenen deinen Rausch (mada), o starker Indra, der du in Kämpfen siegst; wahrlich, o Adrivó, Träger des Vajra, ordnender der Welt, geschmückt mit dem Glanz der falben Rosse (hari).
