The Somas mingled with the curd.
4. Thou, grown at once to perfect strength, wast born to drink the
Soma juice, strong Indra, for preeminence.

May they bring bliss to thee the Sage.
0. 6. O Lord of Hundred Powers, our chants of praise and lauds have
strengthened thee:
So strengthen thee the songs we sing!
7. Indra, whose succour never fails, accept this treasure thousand-
fold,
Wherein all manly powers abide.
8. O Indra, thou who lovest song, let no man hurt our bodies,

Slaughter far from us, for thou canst.

urborn,
Taking their sacrificial name.
