RV 9.86.16 — Ṛgveda Saṃhitā

RV 9.86.16

प्रो अयासीद् इन्दुर् इन्द्रस्य निष्कृतं सखा सख्युर् न प्र मिनाति संगिरम् । मर्य इव युवतिभिः सम् अर्षति सोमः कलशे शतयाम्ना पथा ॥

pro ayāsīd indur indrasya niṣkṛtaṃ sakhā sakhyur na pra mināti saṃgiram | marya iva yuvatibhiḥ sam arṣati somaḥ kalaśe śatayāmnā pathā ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

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 youthful maids, and gains the beaker by a course of hundred paths.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
