1.16.1

आ त्वा॑ वहन्तु॒ हर॑यो॒ वृष॑णं॒ सोम॑पीतये ।
इन्द्र॑ त्वा॒ सूर॑चक्षसः ॥

O Indra, let your tawny horses bring you, the mighty bull with sun-bright eyes, to drink the soma.

इ॒मा धा॒ना घृ॑त॒स्नुवो॒ हरी॑ इ॒होप॑ वक्षतः ।
इन्द्रं॑ सु॒खत॑मे॒ रथे॑ ॥

Let these ghee-dripping offerings and the two tawny horses bring Indra near here, in the most pleasant chariot.

इन्द्रं॑ प्रा॒तर्ह॑वामह॒ इन्द्रं॑ प्रय॒त्य॑ध्व॒रे ।
इन्द्रं॒ सोम॑स्य पी॒तये॑ ॥

At dawn we call upon Indra; when the sacrifice is set in motion we call upon Indra, we call upon Indra to drink the soma.

उप॑ नः सु॒तमा ग॑हि॒ हरि॑भिरिन्द्र के॒शिभिः॑ ।
सु॒ते हि त्वा॒ हवा॑महे ॥

Come near to us at the soma-pressing, O Indra, with your long-maned tawny horses; for at the pressing we call upon you alone.

सेमं न॒ स्तोम॒मा ग॑हि॒ उपे॒दं सव॑नं सु॒तम् ।
गौ॒रो न तृ॑षि॒तः पि॑ब ॥

Come to this praise of ours, come near to this pressed soma; drink like a thirsty bull.

इ॒मे सोमा॑स॒ इन्द॑वः सु॒तासो॒ अधि॑ ब॒र्हिषि॑ ।
ताँ इ॑न्द्र॒ सह॑से पिब ॥

These somas, these drops, pressed out upon the sacred grass; O Indra, drink them for strength.

अ॒यं ते॒ स्तोमो॑ अग्रि॒यो हृ॑दि॒स्पृग॑स्तु॒ शंत॑मः ।
अथा॒ सोमं॑ सु॒तं पि॑ब ॥

Let this praise, foremost and touching the heart, be most pleasing to you. Then drink the pressed Soma.

विश्व॒मित्सव॑नं सु॒तमिन्द्रो॒ मदा॑य गच्छति ।
वृ॒त्र॒हा सोम॑पीतये ॥

To every pressing of Soma indeed Indra comes for exhilaration, the slayer of Vṛtra, to drink the Soma.

सेमं नः॒ काम॒मा पृ॑ण॒ गोभि॒रश्वैः॑ शतक्रतो ।
स्तवा॑म त्वा स्वा॒ध्यः॑ ॥

So fulfill our desire, O hundred-wise one, with cows and with horses; may we praise you, well-instructed.
