The Rig Veda (Griffith) · 1 passage

1. TASTE offerings never tasted yet, as bards enjoy the foeman's wealth. O Vāyu, on refulgent car come to the drinking of the juice. 2 Removing curses, drawn by teams, with Indra, seated by thy side, O Vāyu, on refulgent car come to the drinking of the juice. 3 The two dark treasuries of wealth that wear all beauties wait on thee. O Vāyu, on refulgent car come to the drinking of the juice. 4 May nine-and-ninety harnessed steeds who yoke them at thy will bring thee. O Vāyu, on refulgent car come to the drinking of the juice. 5 Harness, O Vāyu, to thy car a hundred well-fed tawny steeds, Yea, or a thousand steeds, and let thy chariot come to us with might.
