Mantra 1

Sukta 117

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

पिबा सोममिन्द्र मन्दतु त्वा यं ते सुषाव हर्यश्वाद्रिः । सोतुर्बाहुभ्यां सुयतो नार्वा

IAST Transliteration

píba sómam indra mándatu tvā yáṃ te suṣā́va haryáśvā́driḥ | sotúrbāhúbhyāṃ súyato ná árvā

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Drink Soma, O Indra; let that exhilarate thee which the stone, O tawny-horsed, hath well pressed for thee—well guided by the presser’s arms, like a rushing steed.

Translation

हे इंद्रा, सोम प्या; हे हर्यश्वा, तुझ्यासाठी अद्रि (पाषाण) यांनी जो सोम उत्तम रीतीने पिळला आहे, तोच तुला आनंदित करो. सोतृ (पिळणारा) यांच्या बाहूंनी सुयत—चांगला साधलेला—तो, वेगवान अश्वाप्रमाणे, धावून प्रवाहित होवो.
