     Effused with ardour and with faith, and the true hymn of sacrifice. Flow, Indu, flow for Indra's sake.
3. Hither hath Surya's Daughter brought the wild Steer whom Parjanya nursed.
     Gandharvas have seized bold of him, and in the Soma laid the juice. Flow, Indu, flow for Indra's sake.

     Enouncing faith, King Soma! thou, O Soma, whom thy maker decks. Flow, Indu, flow for Indra's sake.

     The juices of the juicy meet. Made pure by prayer, O Golden-hued, flow, Indu, flow for Indra's sake.

     Lords it o'er Soma with the stone, with Soma bringing forth delight, flow, Indu, flow for Indra's sake.

     Wherein the light of heaven is set, and everlasting lustre shines. Flow, Indu, flow for Indra's sake.

     The region of the radiant Moon, where food and full delight are found. Flow, Indu, flow for Indra's sake:

     Joys and felicities combine, and longing wishes are fulfilled. Flow, Indu, flow for Indra's sake.
