The Rig Veda — Mandala 3, Hymn 42 (1896)
“ Take them within thy belly, Lord Of Hundred Powers, thou Prince of Wealth. 6. We know thee winner of the spoil, and resolute in battles, Sage! Therefore thy blessing we implore. 7. Borne hither by thy Stallions, drink, Indra, this juice which we have pressed, Mingled with barley and with milk. 8. Indra, for thee, in thine own place, I urge the Soma for thy draught: Deep in thy heart let it remain, 9. We call on thee, the Ancient One, Indra, to drink the Soma juice, We Kusikas who seek thine aid. ”
