What happens in this chapter
Soma brought by the falcon for Indra
The rishi is Tarkshya Suparna, or Urdhvakrishana Yamayana, praising Indra in mixed metres. This drop speeds to you, immortal one, like a steed, giving skill and full life. It is the poet's vajra among us, bearing the joy of Urdhvakrishana. Suparna, son of the falcon, brought it from afar; the falcon carried in his foot the bright, unharmed measure of the drink. By it one stretches out vigour and life, and by it kinship stays awake. So, Indra, with this drop among the devas he will hold back great harm; with wise will this soma is pressed by us for long life.
