Rig Veda 3.36.3: Mandala 3, Sukta 36, Mantra 3
Sukta 3.36
Rishi: Viśvāmitra Gāthina (traditional attribution for Maṇḍala 3); for 3.36 specifically, Viśvāmitra is the standard Anukramaṇī rishi for the hymn.
Devata: Indra (with Soma as the offered power/oblation).
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable for RV 3.36; verse-length and cadence align with Triṣṭubh usage in Indra hymns).
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
पिबा वर्धस्व तव घा सुतास इन्द्र सोमासः प्रथमा उतेमे । यथापिबः पूर्व्याँ इन्द्र सोमाँ एवा पाहि पन्यो अद्या नवीयान् ॥

Translation
饮吧，并增长你的威力；因陀罗啊，这些榨取的苏摩为你而设，是最初的供献，也是此刻的供献。正如你曾饮那古老的苏摩，因陀罗啊，如今也当如此饮用——可敬者啊——这日日更新的欢悦之流。
