Sukta 109
स्वादोरित्था विषूवतो मध्वः पिबन्ति गौर्यः । या इन्द्रेण सयावरीर्वृष्णा मदन्ति शोभसे वस्वीरनु स्वराज्यम्
svādóḥ itthā́ viṣūváto mádhvaḥ pibanti gáuryáḥ | yā́ índreṇa sayā́varīr vṛ́ṣṇā mádanti śóbhase vásvīr ánu svārā́jyam ||
Thus, at the turning-point, the tawny ones drink of the honey-sweet draught; they who, moving in one course with Indra, with the Bull, exult for splendour—bounteous—following after sovereign power.
Rishi: Ṛgvedic provenance (AV 20 is largely Ṛg-collection); traditional attribution follows the corresponding RV hymn’s seer (to be verified against RV parallel).
Devata: Indra (with Soma as the empowering medium)
Chandas: Likely Triṣṭubh/Jagatī-type cadence in RV style (verify by RV parallel scansion).
