Rig Veda 4.24.5: Mandala 4, Sukta 24, Mantra 5

Sukta 4.24

Rishi: Vāmadeva Gautama
Devata: Indra (with Soma and Pakti as operative powers)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable)

आदिद्ध नेम इन्द्रियं यजन्त आदित्पक्तिः पुरोळाशं रिरिच्यात् । आदित्सोमो वि पपृच्यादसुष्वीनादिज्जुजोष वृषभं यजध्यै ॥

ād iddha néma indriyáṃ yajante ādít paktíḥ puroḷā́śaṃ riricyāt | ādít sómo ví papṛcyād ásuṣvīn ādíj jujoṣa vṛṣabháṃ yajádhyai ||

Alors, tout près, ils sacrifient à la puissance indrique; alors Pakti apprête le gâteau d’offrande (puroḷāśa). Alors Soma se déploie pour ceux qui n’ont pas assez pressé; alors il cherche à gagner le Taureau — Indra — pour l’acte sacrificiel.
