Sukta 51
शतानीका हेतयो अस्य दुष्टरा इन्द्रस्य समिषो महीः । गिरिर्न भुज्मा मघवत्सु पिन्वते यदीं सुता अमन्दिषुः
śatānī́kā hetáyo asya duṣṭárā índrasya samī́ṣo mahī́ḥ | girír na bhujmā́ maghávatsu pinvate yád īṃ sutā́ amándiṣuḥ
Hundredfold are his missiles, hard to be withstood—Indra’s great impellings unto might. Like a compact mountain he swells among the liberal, when the pressed draughts have made him glad.
Seratus kali lipat pelurunya, sukar ditahan—dorongan besar Indra menuju kekuatan. Seperti gunung yang padat ia mengembang di antara para dermawan, ketika minuman perasan itu (Soma) telah membuatnya bersukacita.
