AV 20 52.1

वयं घ त्वा सुतावन्त आपो न वृक्तबर्हिषः । पवित्रस्य प्रस्रवणेषु वृत्रहन् परि स्तोतार आसते

vayaṃ gha tvā sutāvanta āpo na vṛktabarhiṣaḥ | pavitrasya prasravaṇeṣu vṛtrahan pari stotāra āsate

We indeed, having the pressed (soma), with the barhis twisted, like waters — the praisers sit around you at the outflowings of the filter, O slayer of Vṛtra.

AV 20 52.2

स्वरन्ति त्वा सुते नरो वसो निरेक उक्थिनः । कदा सुतं तृषाण ओक आ गम इन्द्र स्वब्दीव वंसगः

svaranti tvā sute naro vaso nireka ukthinaḥ | kadā sutaṃ tṛṣāṇa oka ā gama indra svabdīva vaṃsagaḥ

The men sing to thee at the pressing, O good one, the reciters of hymns without rival. When, thirsting, wilt thou come home to the pressed (soma), Indra, like a bellowing bull?

कण्वेभिर् धृष्णव् आ धृसद् वाजं दर्षि सहस्रिणम् । पिशङ्गरूपं मघवन् विचर्षणे मक्षू गोमन्तम् ईमहे

O bold one, boldly with the Kaṇvas burst open thousandfold prize; O bounteous one, O far-seeing one, swiftly we beg for the tawny-coloured (wealth) rich in cattle.
