What happens in this chapter

Bright soma for Vayu and Indra

Four anushtubh verses of Vamadeva Gautama, the first to Vayu and the rest to Indra and Vayu. Vayu, the bright soma, the best of the honey, has been brought to you at the morning rites; come with your team to drink it, desired god. You two, Indra and Vayu, are worthy to drink these juices, for the drops run to you as water runs downhill. Lords of strength, come together on one chariot with your teams for our help and for the soma. Grant us those much-desired teams of yours, heroes, which you keep for the giver.

इन्द्र॑श्च वायवेषां॒ सोमा॑नां पी॒तिम॑र्हथः ।
यु॒वां हि यन्तीन्द॑वो नि॒म्नमापो॒ न स॒ध्र्य॑क्

नि॒युत्व॑न्ता न ऊ॒तय॒ आ या॑तं॒ सोम॑पीतये

vāyavindraśca śuṣmiṇā sarathaṃ śavasaspatī |
niyutvantā na ūtaya ā yātaṃ somapītaye

47.4

या वां॒ सन्ति॑ पुरु॒स्पृहो॑ नि॒युतो॑ दा॒शुषे॑ नरा ।
अ॒स्मे ता य॑ज्ञवाह॒सेन्द्र॑वायू॒ नि य॑च्छतम्

yā vāṃ santi puruspṛho niyuto dāśuṣe narā |
asme tā yajñavāhasendravāyū ni yacchatam
