1

May this delightful Soma be offered to you by tawny stones. Joying at it, O Indra, with your bay horses come: Ascend your golden chariot.

2

You made the Dawn bright with love, you made the Sun shine bright with love. You, Indra, knowing, thinking, Lord of bay horses, become great among all glories.

3

The sky with golden streams, the earth with its green and gold hues— The golden pair give Indra plenty of sustenance; between them moves the golden one.

4

When the golden Bull comes to life, it illuminates all the realm of light. He takes his golden weapon, Lord of bay horses, the golden thunder in his arms.

5

The bright, beloved thunderbolt, surrounded by brightness, Indra revealed, Revealed the Soma juice pressed out by tawny stones, driving the cows with tawny horses.
