Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.2

इन्द्राय सोमम् ऋत्विजः सुनोता च धावत । स्तोतुर् यो वचः शृणवद् धवं च मे ॥१॥

indrāya somam ṛtvijaḥ sunotā ca dhāvata | stotur yo vacaḥ śṛṇavad dhavaṃ ca me ||1||

For Indra, O priests, press the soma, and add the water; [Indra] who shall hear the praiser's words and my call.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

आ यं विशन्तीन्दवो वयो न वृक्षम् अन्धसः । विरप्शिन् वि मृधो जहि रक्षस्विनीः ॥२॥

ā yaṃ viśantīndavo vayo na vṛkṣam andhasaḥ | virapśin vi mṛdho jahi rakṣasvinīḥ ||2||

Unto whom enter the drops of soma-plant (ándhas) as birds a tree; thou exuberant one, drive away the demon-possessed scorners.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

सुनोता सोमपाव्ने सोमम् इन्द्राय वज्रिणे । युवा जेतेशानः स पुरुष्टुतः ॥३॥

sunotā somapāvne somam indrāya vajriṇe | yuvā jeteśānaḥ sa puruṣṭutaḥ ||3||

Press ye the soma for the soma-drinker, for the thunderbolt-bearing Indra; young, conqueror, lord [is] he, greatly praised.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
