Book 9 >> HYMN 56 - Soma Pavamana



परि सोम रतं बर्हदाशुः पवित्रे अर्षति |
विघ्नन रक्षांसि देवयुः
English:- . SWIFT to the purifying sieve flows Soma as exalted Law,
Slaying the fiends, loving the Gods.

यत सोमो वाजमर्षति शतं धारा अपस्युवः |
इन्द्रस्यसख्यमाविशन
English:- When Soma pours the strengthening food a hundred ever-active streams
To Indra's friendship win theirway.

अभि तवा योषणो दश जारं न कन्यानूषत |
मर्ज्यसे सोम सातये
English:- Ten Dames have sung to welcome thee, even as a maiden greets her love:
O Soma, thou art decked to win.

तवमिन्द्राय विष्णवे सवादुरिन्दो परि सरव |
नॄन सतोतॄन्पाह्यंहसः
English:- Flow hitherward, O Indu, sweet to Indra and to Viṣṇu: guard
The men, the singers, from distress.
