RV 10 148.1

सुष्वाणास इन्द्र स्तुमसि त्वा ससवाꣳसश् च तुविनृम्ण वाजम् । आ नो भर सुवितꣳ यस्य चाकन् त्मना तना सनुयाम त्वोताः

suṣvāṇāsa indra stumasi tvā sasavāṁsaś ca tuvinṛmṇa vājam | ā no bhara suvitaṁ yasya cākan tmanā tanā sanuyāma tvotāḥ

Having pressed (soma), O Indra, we praise you, and having won the prize, O you of mighty manliness. Bring us that good fortune in which you delight; may we of ourselves win it in unbroken succession, helped by you.
