Why this intoxication of mine? Why the honeyed Indra? Why this friendship he forged? Were the battles with the Nisadas then; what once he split of yours long ago—what of the new ones?
What has Indra done in the exhilaration of this (Soma)? What has he done on quaffing this (libation)? What has he done in friendship for this (Soma)? What have former, what have recent adorers obtained from you in the chamber of this (libation)?
WHAT deed hath Indra done in the wild transport, in quaffing or in friendship with, the Soma? What joys have men of ancient times or recent obtained within the chamber of libation?
