एष स्य ते पवत इन्द्र सोमश्चमूषु धीर उशते तवस्वान् । स्वर्चक्षा रथिरः सत्यशुष्मः कामो न यो देवयतामसर्जि ॥

eṣá syá te pavate indra sómaś camū́ṣu dhī́ra uśaté távasvān | svàr-cakṣā rathiráḥ satyá-śuṣmaḥ kā́mo ná yó devayatā́m asarji ||

This Soma flows for thee, O Indra—wise and eager in the bowls, full of power. He is visioned by the light (sun-eyed), moving like a chariot, with a true and irresistible force; like Desire itself he is released for those who turn godward.
