Transliteration

ví hí sotór ásṛkṣata néndraṃ devám amaṃsata | yátrā́madad vṛṣā́kapi r aryáḥ púṣṭeṣu mát-sakhā víśvasmād índra úttaraḥ ||

Translation

Perasan-perasan Soma telah mengalir, namun tidak memuaskan Indra, sang dewa. Sebab di tempat Vṛṣākapi bersukacita—mulia, di tengah kelimpahan, sahabatku—di sanalah Indra bangkit melampaui segala: daya yang lebih tinggi, mencari kemabukan yang sejati.
