गृभीतं ते मन इन्द्र द्विबर्हाः सुतः सोमः परिषिक्ता मधूनि । विसृष्टधेना भरते सुवृक्तिरियमिन्द्रं जोहुवती मनीषा ॥

gṛbhītaṃ te maná indra dvi-barhāḥ sutáḥ sómaḥ pári-siktā mádhūni | visṛ́ṣṭa-dhenā bharate su-vṛ́ktir iyám índraṃ jóhuvatī manīṣā ||

Wahai Indra, pikiran-Mu tertahan dan terikat oleh Soma yang diperas dengan kekuatan ganda, dengan sari-sari madunya tercurah mengelilingi. Ucapan yang tersusun indah ini—melepaskan aliran kelimpahan—maju membawa dirinya; inilah daya pikir yang bercahaya, memanggil Indra demi ekstase dan pertambahan.
