Sukta 99
अस्येदिन्द्रो वावृधे वृष्ण्यं शवो मदे सुतस्य विष्णवि । अद्या तमस्य महिमानमायवोऽनु ष्टुवन्ति पूर्वथा
asyéd índro vāvṛdhe vṛ́ṣṇyaṃ śávo máde sutásya víṣṇavi | adyā́ tám asya mahimā́nam ā́yavo'nu stuvanti pū́rvathā ||
Hereby, indeed, hath Indra waxed—his bull-like might—in the rapture of the pressed draught, O Viṣṇu. To-day the Āyavas, as erst they did, in due succession laud that majesty of his.
अनेनैव खलु इन्द्रो वावृधे—वृष्ण्यं शवं—सुते सोमस्य मदे, हे विष्णो। अद्य आयवोऽपि पूर्वथा क्रमशोऽनु तस्य महिमानं स्तुवन्ति।
