Sama Veda II.7.3.1: Men with their lauds are urging thee, Indra
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Men with their lauds are urging thee, Indra, to drink the Soma first.
The Ribhus in accord have lifted up their voice, and Rudras sung thee as the first.
2. Indra, at sacrifice, increased his manly strength, in the wild rapture of this juice:
And living men to-day, even as of old, sing forth their praises to his majesty.
