Sukta 52
स्वर॑न्ति त्वा सु॒ते नरो॒ वसो॑ निरे॒क उ॒क्थिनः॑ । क॒दा सु॒तं तृ॑षा॒ण ओक॒ आ ग॑म॒ इन्द्र॑ स्व॒ब्दीव॒ वंस॑गः
sváranti tvā suté náro váso niréka ukthínaḥ | kadā sutáṃ tṛṣāṇá óka ā́ gama índra svabdī́va váṃsagaḥ ||
The men, the Uktha-chanters, cry aloud to thee at the Soma pressed, O bounteous one, with no reserve. When, thirsting for the pressed draught, wilt thou come homeward to our house, O Indra, well-armed, winner of the prize?
स्वरन्ति त्वा सुते नरो वसो निरेको उक्थिनः। कदा सुतं तृषाण ओक आ गम इन्द्र स्वब्दीव वंसगः।
