Sanskrit Original
प्रो अ॑यासी॒दिन्दु॒रिन्द्र॑स्य निष्कृ॒तं सखा॒ सख्यु॒र्न प्र मि॑नाति सं॒गिर॑म् । मर्य॑ इव युव॒तिभिः॒ सम॑र्षति॒ सोमः॑ क॒लशे॑ श॒तया॑म्ना प॒था
pro ayāsīdindurindrasya niṣkṛtaṃ sakhā sakhyurna pra mināti saṃgiram marya iva yuvatibhiḥ samarṣati somaḥ kalaśe śatayāmnā pathā
Then the friend of Indra yielded his brought‑forth share; the companion did not diminish (the mountain). Like youthful maidens he pressed together; Soma crowded into the pitcher with a hundred libations along the ritual path.
Indu goes to Indra's abode, the friend leaves not the stomach of his friend; as a young man meets maidens, so the Soma (meets) the pitcher by a hundred pathṣ
Indu hath started for Indra's special place and slights not as a Friend the promise of his Friend. Soma speeds onward like a youth to youtlitial maids, and gains the beaker by a course of bundred paths.
