Hymn Xcix

1Men 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.

2Indra increased his manly strength at sacrifice, in the wild

rapture of this juice;

And living men to-day, even as of old, sing forth their praises to

his majesty.
