Atharva Veda 7.58: An invitation to Indra and Varuna
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895–96) · From The Hymns of the Atharva-Veda (1895–96)
True to laws, Indra Varuna, drinkers of the juice, quaff this pressed Soma which shall give you rapturous joy!
Let sacrifice, your car, to entertain the Gods, approach its rest-ing-place that they may drink thereof.
O Indra Varuna, drink your fill, ye heroes, of this effectual and sweetest Soma.
This juice was shed by us that ye might quaff it. On this trimmed grass be seated and rejoice you.
