Those from the Soma pressed milk like cows, drawing the stream; they milked the swift juice in the udder like kine. From them the Soma milked forth the sweet nectar; Indra grows in might, first enriching the bulls.
These devourers of Soma kiss Indra's horses, milking forth the juice they repose upon the cow, Indrahaving quaffed the sweet Soma milked forth by them increases, waxes broad, grows vigour.
These Soma-eaters kiss Indra's Bay-coloured Steeds: draining. the stalk they sit upon the ox's hide. Indra, when he hath drunk Soma-nicath drawn by them, waxes in strength, is famed, is mighty as a Bull.
