1.24.223

अ꣡ती꣢हि मन्युषा꣣वि꣡ण꣢ꣳ सुषु꣣वा꣢ꣳस꣣मु꣡पे꣢꣯रय ।
अ꣣स्य꣢ रा꣣तौ꣢ सु꣣तं꣡ पि꣢ब ॥ २२३ ॥

Come forward, bring near the zealous presser of soma; at this gift, drink the pressed soma.

क꣢दु꣣ प्र꣡चे꣢तसे म꣣हे꣡ वचो꣢꣯ दे꣣वा꣡य꣢ शस्यते ।
त꣡दिध्य꣢꣯स्य꣣ व꣡र्ध꣢नम् ॥ २२४ ॥

When, indeed, the hymn of praise is recited to the wise great god; by that, kindle its growth.

उ꣣क्थं꣢ च꣣ न꣢ श꣣स्य꣡मा꣢नं꣣ ना꣡गो꣢ र꣣यि꣡रा चि꣢꣯केत ।
न꣡ गा꣢य꣣त्रं꣢ गी꣣य꣡मा꣢नम् ॥ २२५ ॥

While the uktha hymn is being recited, blameless wealth does not appear; nor while the Gāyatra is being sung.

इ꣡न्द्र꣢ उ꣣क्थे꣢भि꣣र्म꣡न्दि꣢ष्ठो꣣ वा꣡जा꣢नां च꣣ वा꣡ज꣢पतिः ।
ह꣡रि꣢वान्त्सु꣣ता꣢ना꣣ꣳ स꣡खा꣢ ॥ २२६ ॥

Indra, most exhilarated by the uktha hymns, lord of strengths and of riches, the tawny-horsed one, friend of the pressed soma.

आ꣢ या꣣ह्यु꣡प꣢ नः सु꣣तं꣡ वाजे꣢꣯भि꣣र्मा꣡ हृ꣢णीयथाः ।
म꣣हा꣡ꣳ इ꣢व꣣ यु꣡व꣢जानिः ॥ २२७ ॥

Come near to our pressed soma with strengths; do not be wrathful, great one, as one ever-young born.

क꣣दा꣡ व꣡सो स्तो꣣त्र꣡ꣳहर्य꣢꣯त꣣ आ꣡ अव꣢꣯ श्म꣣शा꣡ रु꣢ध꣣द्वाः꣢ ।
दी꣣र्घ꣢ꣳसु꣣त꣢म् वा꣣ता꣡प्या꣢य ॥ २२८ ॥

O bountiful one, when will the hymn of praise be longed for? Let the waters be covered below; the long pressed soma is for the wind-drinker to drink.

ब्रा꣡ह्म꣢णादिन्द्र꣣ रा꣡ध꣢सः꣣ पि꣢बा꣣ सो꣡म꣢मृ꣣तू꣡ꣳ रनु꣢꣯ ।
त꣢वे꣣द꣢ꣳस꣣ख्य꣡मस्तृ꣢꣯तम् ॥ २२९ ॥

O Indra, by the sacred chant, for prosperity, drink the Soma in accordance with the seasons. This your friendship is unfailing.

व꣣यं꣡ घा꣢ ते꣣ अ꣡पि꣢ स्मसि स्तो꣣ता꣡र꣢ इन्द्र गिर्वणः ।
त्वं꣡ नो꣢ जिन्व सोमपाः ॥ २३० ॥

O Indra, we are indeed praisers near to you. O you honoured by songs, O drinker of Soma, you refresh us.

ए꣡न्द्र꣢ पृ꣣क्षु꣡ कासु꣢꣯ चिन्नृ꣣म्णं꣢ त꣣नू꣡षु꣢ धेहि नः ।
स꣡त्रा꣢जिदुग्र꣣ पौ꣡ꣳ ॥ २३१ ॥

O Indra, in whatever contests, place manly strength in our bodies. O conqueror of all, O fierce one, grant us vigour and power.

ए꣣वा꣡ ह्यसि꣢꣯ वीर꣣यु꣢रे꣣वा꣡ शूर꣢꣯ उ꣣त꣢ स्थि꣣रः꣢ ।
ए꣣वा꣢ ते꣣ रा꣢ध्यं꣣ म꣡नः꣢ ॥ २३२ ॥

Thus you seek heroes; thus you are a hero and steadfast. Thus your mind is bountiful and to be won.
