Religion

1. Active, while being purified, he hath assailed all enemies: They deck the Sage with holy hymns.

2. The Red hath mounted to his shrine; strong Indra hath approached the juice:
In his firm dwelling let him rest!

3. O Indu, Soma, send us now great opulence from every side:
Pour on us treasures thousandfold!
