Mantra 10
Aindra stuti at Soma-pressing: praising Indra’s might and inviting him to drink the expressed Soma for protection and welfare
इदं वसो सुतमन्धः पिबा सुपूर्णमुदरम् अनाभयिन्ररिमा ते
idaṃ vaso sutamandhaḥ pibā supūrṇamudaram anābhayinrarimā te
idáṃ vaso sutám ándhaḥ | píbā | supūrṇám údaram | anā́bhayi nrá-rimā te ||
Minumlah, wahai Vasu, perahan Soma ini; penuhilah perutmu yang sedia penuh; jadilah engkau tanpa gentar, dan biarlah musuh pembinasa manusia jauh daripadamu.
idam vaso sutam andhaḥ | pibā | su-pūrṇam udaram | anābhayi nra-rimā te ||
