Hymn Viii

1Drink as of old, and let the draught delight thee: hear thou my

prayer and let our songs exalt thee.

Make the Sun visible, make food abundant: slaughter the foes,.

pierce through and free the cattle.

2Come to us; they have called thee Soma-lover. Here is the

pressed juice: drink ther for rapture.

Widely-capacious, pour it down within thee, and invocated hear

us like a father.

3Full is his chalice. Blessing! Like a pourer I have filled up the

vessel for his drinking.

Presented on the right, dear Soma juices have brought us Indra,.

to rejoice him, hither.
