Mantra 7

Sukta 5.51

Rishi: Atri (Ātreya tradition; hymn attributed to the Atri family)
Devata: Indra-Vāyu (with Soma as the offering-power)
Chandas: Jagatī (probable; verse-length and cadence consistent with Jagatī in this section)

सुता इन्द्राय वायवे सोमासो दध्याशिरः । निम्नं न यन्ति सिन्धवोऽभि प्रयः ॥

सु॒ता इन्द्रा॑य वा॒यवे॒ सोमा॑सो॒ दध्या॑शिरः । नि॒म्नं न य॑न्ति॒ सिन्ध॑वो॒ऽभि प्रय॑: ॥

sutā́ indrā́ya vāyáve sómāso dádhyāśiraḥ | nímnaṃ ná yánti síndhavo ’bhí práyaḥ ||

The pressed Soma-forces, mixed with the clarifying power (curd), are offered for Indra and Vāyu; they move toward the delight (prayaḥ) as rivers hasten to the deep—so the currents of inner offering run naturally into the vast receptacle of bliss.
