Mantra 10
Indra’s swift, bull-like approach to the Soma-seat and his sure hearing of the stotra
वयमेनमिदा ह्योपीपेमेह वज्रिणम् तस्मा उ अद्य सवने सुतं भरा नूनं भूषत श्रुते
vayamenamidā hyopīpemeha vajriṇam tasmā u adya savane sutaṃ bharā nūnaṃ bhūṣata śrute

We, even now, have here propitiated the thunderer; therefore to-day, at the pressing, bring the expressed Soma (to him): now do ye duly honour the renowned (Indra).
