Book 9 >> HYMN 53 - Soma Pavamana



उत ते शुष्मासो अस्थू रक्षो भिन्दन्तो अद्रिवः |
नुदस्व याः परिस्प्र्धः
English:- . O THOU with stones for arms, thy powers, crushing the fiends, have raised themselves:
Chase thou the foes who compass us.

अया निजघ्निरोजसा रथसंगे धने हिते |
सतवा अबिभ्युषा हर्दा
English:- Thou conquerest thus with might when car meets car, and when the prize is staked:
With fearless heart will I sing praise.

अस्य वरतानि नाध्र्षे पवमानस्य दूढ्या |
रुज यस्त्वाप्र्तन्यति
English:- No one with evil thought assails this Pavamana's holy laws:
Crush him who fain would fight with thee.

तं हिन्वन्ति मदच्युतं हरिं नदीषु वाजिनम |
इन्दुमिन्द्राय मत्सरम
English:- For Indra to the streams they drive the tawny rapture-dropping Steed,
Indu the bringer of delight.
