Sukta 87
यद् द॑धि॒षे प्र॒दिवि॒ चार्वन्नं॑ दि॒वेदि॑वे पी॒तिमिद॑स्य वक्षि । उ॒त हृ॒दोत मन॑सा जुषा॒ण उ॒शन्नि॑न्द्र॒ प्रस्थि॑तान् पाहि॒ सोमा॑न्
yád dadhíṣe pradívi cā́rvannam divé-dive pītím íd asyá vakṣi | utá hṛdóta mánasā juṣāṇá uśánn indra prasthitā́n pāhi sómān |
When thou settest in the high heaven the swift steed, and day by day bearest hence the draught thereof—then, taking pleasure with heart and mind, eager, O Indra, drink thou the Soma-cups set forth.
Gdy umieszczasz w wysokim niebie szybkiego rumaka i dzień po dniu zabierasz stąd jego napój, wtedy, radując się sercem i umysłem, pragnący, o Indro, pij przygotowane kielichy Somy.
