IAST Transliteration

apā́ḥ pū́rveṣāṃ harivaḥ sutā́nām átho idáṃ sávanaṃ kévalaṃ te | mamáddhi sómaṃ mádhumantam indra satrā́ vṛ́ṣaṃ jaṭháre ā́ vṛṣasva

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Thou hast drained the earlier pressings, O thou of tawny steeds; and now this pressing here is wholly thine. Be thou exhilarated with the honeyed Soma, O Indra; as Bull, in one unbroken course, wax strong within the belly.

Translation

โอ้ผู้มีม้าสีน้ำตาลทอง (harivāḥ) ท่านได้ดื่มโสมที่คั้นก่อนหน้าแล้ว และบัดนี้โสมที่คั้น ณ ที่นี้เป็นของท่านทั้งหมด โอ้อินทรา จงรื่นรมย์ด้วยโสมอันหวานดุจน้ำผึ้ง และในฐานะกระทิง จงเพิ่มพลังในท้องด้วยแรงส่งที่ไม่ขาดสาย
