Rig Veda 9.86.16

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

परो अयासीदिन्दुरिन्द्रस्य निष्क्र्तं सखा सख्युर्न पर मिनाति संगिरम | मर्य इव युवतिभिः समर्षति सोमः कलशे शतयाम्ना पथा

IAST Romanisation

pro ayāsīdindurindrasya niṣkṛtaṃ sakhā sakhyurna pra mināti saṃghiram | marya iva yuvatibhiḥ samarṣati somaḥ kalaśe śatayāmnā pathā

English Translation (Griffith)

Indu hath started for Indra's special place and slights not as a Friend the promise of his Friend. Soma speeds onward like a youth to youtlitial maids, and gains the beaker by a course of bundred paths.
