Sukta 72
श्रा॒तं म॑न्य॒ ऊध॑नि श्रा॒तम॒ग्नौ सुशृ॑तं मन्ये॒ तदृ॒तं नवी॑यः । माध्य॑न्दिनस्य॒ सव॑नस्य द॒ध्नः पिबे॑न्द्र वज्रिन् पुरु॒कृज्जु॑षा॒णः
śrātáṁ manya ū́dhani śrātám agnáu suśrútam manye tád ṛtáṁ navī́yaḥ | mā́dhyandinasya sávanasya dadhnáḥ píbéndra vajrin purukṛ́j juṣā́ṇaḥ ||
Well-cooked, I deem it, in the udder; well-cooked in the fire, well-prepared—I deem that the right, the newer order. Drink, O Indra, bolt-bearer, of the curds of the midday pressing, taking pleasure, thou of many deeds.
Хорошо сваренным, думаю, оно в вымени; хорошо сваренным — в огне; хорошо приготовленным — так думаю: это ṛtá, новый порядок. Пей же, о Индра, носящий ваджру, простоквашу (dadhi) полуденного выжимания (savana), наслаждаясь, о многодеятельный.
