Sama Veda — Pūrvārcika, Mantra 9
Aindra praise that impels Indra to drink Soma and strengthen the sacrifice
रेवतीर्नः सधमाद इन्द्रे सन्तु तुविवाजाः क्षुमन्तो याभिर्मदेम
revatīrnaḥ sadhamāda indre santu tuvivājāḥ kṣumanto yābhirmadema
revatī́r naḥ sadhámāda índre santu tuvívājāḥ | kṣumántaḥ yā́bhir mádema ||
Ước cho chúng ta, cùng với Indra, có những cuộc hội vui chung đầy phú túc—tràn nhiều sức lực, có dưỡng nuôi—nhờ đó chúng ta được hoan hỷ.
