RV 10 160.1

तीव्रस्याभिवयसो अस्य पाहि सर्वरथा वि हरी इह मुञ्च । इन्द्र मा त्वा यजमानासो अन्ये नि रीरमन् तुभ्यम् इमे सुतासः

tīvrasyābhivayaso asya pāhi sarvarathā vi harī iha muñca | indra mā tvā yajamānāso anye ni rīraman tubhyam ime sutāsaḥ

Drink of this sharp, nourishing (soma); unyoke the two bay horses here, with the whole chariot. Indra, let not other sacrificers hold you back — these pressed (juices) are for you.

TASTE this strong draught enriched with offered viands: with all thy chariot here unyoke thy Coursers. Let not those other sacrificers stay thee, Indra: these juices shed for thee are ready.

RV 10 160.2

तुभ्यꣳ सुतास् तुभ्यम् उ सोत्वासस् त्वाꣳ गिरः श्वात्र्या आ ह्वयन्ति । इन्द्रेदम् अद्य सवनꣳ जुषाणो विश्वस्य विद्वाꣳ इह पाहि सोमम्

tubhyaṁ sutās tubhyam u sotvāsas tvāṁ giraḥ śvātryā ā hvayanti | indredam adya savanaṁ juṣāṇo viśvasya vidvām̐ iha pāhi somam

For you they are pressed, for you they are to be pressed; the swelling songs call you here. Indra, taking pleasure in this pressing today, knowing all, drink the soma here.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Thine is the juice effused, thine are the juices yet to be pressed: our resonant songs invite thee. O Indra, pleased to-day with this libation, come, thou who knowest all and drink the Soma.

RV 10 160.3

य उशता मनसा सोमम् अस्मै सर्वहृदा देवकामः सुनोति । न गा इन्द्रस् तस्य परा ददाति प्रशस्तम् इच् चारुम् अस्मै कृणोति

ya uśatā manasā somam asmai sarvahṛdā devakāmaḥ sunoti | na gā indras tasya parā dadāti praśastam ic cārum asmai kṛṇoti

He who with eager mind, with his whole heart, loving the gods, presses soma for him — Indra does not give away his cattle; he makes what is praised and dear for him.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Whoso, devoted to the God, effuses Soma for him with yearning heart and spirit,– Never doth Indra give away his cattle: for him he makes the lovely Soma famous.

RV 10 160.4

अनुस्पष्टो भवत्य् एषो अस्य यो अस्मै रेवान् न सुनोति सोमम् । निर् अरत्नौ मघवा तꣳ दधाति ब्रह्मद्विषो हन्त्य् अनानुदिष्टः

anuspaṣṭo bhavaty eṣo asya yo asmai revān na sunoti somam | nir aratnau maghavā taṁ dadhāti brahmadviṣo hanty anānudiṣṭaḥ

He is spied out by him, this one who, though rich, does not press soma for him; the bounteous one casts him out at elbow's length; unprompted, he slays those who hate the sacred word.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

He looks with Ioving favour on the mortal who, like a rich man, pours for him the Soma. Maghavan in his bended arm supports him: he slays, unasked, the men who hate devotion.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)

अश्वायन्तो गव्यन्तो वाजयन्तो हवामहे त्वोपगन्तवा उ । आभूषन्तस् ते सुमतौ नवायाꣳ वयम् इन्द्र त्वा शुनꣳ हुवेम

aśvāyanto gavyanto vājayanto havāmahe tvopagantavā u | ābhūṣantas te sumatau navāyāṁ vayam indra tvā śunaṁ huvema

Seeking horses, seeking cattle, seeking prize, we call you to come to us; attending upon your new favour, we would invoke you, Indra, for good fortune.

We call on thee to come to us, desirous of goods and spoil, of cattle, and of horses. For thy new love and favour are we present: let us invoke thee, Indra, as our welfare.
