SV 2 8304.1

यथा गौरो अपा कृतं तृष्यन्नेत्यवेरिणं । आपित्वे नः प्रपित्वे तूयमा गहि कण्वेषु सु सचा पिब

yathā gauro apā kṛtaṃ tṛṣyannetyaveriṇaṃ | āpitve naḥ prapitve tūyamā gahi kaṇveṣu su sacā piba

As a thirsting wild bull goes down to a water-hole in the barren waste, so at kinship-time, at the time of (day's) approach, come quickly to us; among the Kaṇvas drink well in company.

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

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Even as the wild bull, when he thirsts, goes to the desert's watery pool, Come hither quickly both at morning and at eve, and with the Kanvas drink thy fill!

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)

SV 2 8304.2

मन्दन्तु त्वा मघवन्निन्द्रेन्दवो राधोदेयाय सुन्वते । आमुष्या सोममपिबश्चमू सुतं ज्येष्ठं तद्दधिषे सहः

mandantu tvā maghavannindrendavo rādhodeyāya sunvate | āmuṣyā somamapibaścamū sutaṃ jyeṣṭhaṃ taddadhiṣe sahaḥ

Let the drops gladden you, bountiful Indra, toward the giving of largesse to the presser; having snatched (it), you drank the soma pressed in the two bowls: that highest might you took upon yourself.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

May the drops gladden thee, Lord Indra, and obtain bounty for him who pours the juice! Soma, shed in the press, thou stolest and didst drink, and hence hast won surpassing might.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)
