अ॒यं स्वा॒दुरि॒ह मदि॑ष्ठ आस॒ यस्येन्द्रो॑ वृत्र॒हत्ये॑ म॒माद॑ । पु॒रूणि॒ यश्च्यौ॒त्ना शम्ब॑रस्य॒ वि न॑व॒तिं नव॑ च दे॒ह्यो॒३॒॑ हन्
ayaṃ svāduriha madiṣṭha āsa yasyendro vṛtrahatye mamāda purūṇi yaścyautnā śambarasya vi navatiṃ nava ca dehyo3 han
This sweetness delighted me; Indra, who slew Vritra, gave it to me. The many-armed one sought the spoils of Shambara; he struck down ninety-nine and the hundredth body.
The savoury Soma, drunk on this occasion, has been most exhilarating; by drinking of it Indra has been elevated to the slaying of Vṛtra, and it has destroyed the numerous hosts of Śambara and the ninetynine cities.
This sweet juice here had mightiest power to gladden: it boldened Indra when he siaughtered Vrtra, When he defeated Sambara's many onslaughts, and battered down his nineand ninety ramparts.
