Rig Veda

Mandal - 9 (Part - 9)

HYMN 19 Soma Pavamana

1

O SOMA, being purified bring us the wondrous treasure, meet
For lauds, that is in earth and heaven.

2

For ye Twain, Indra, Soma, are Lords of the light, Lords of the kine:
Great Rulers, prosper ye our songs.

3

The tawny Steer, while cleansed among the living, bellowing on the grass,
Hath sunk and settled in his home.

4

Over the Steer's productive flow the sacred songs were resonant,
The mothers of the darling Son.

5

Hath he not, purified, impregned the kine whb long to meet their Lord,
The kine who yield the shining milk?

6

Bring near us those who stand aloof strike fear into our enemies:
O Pavamana, find us wealth.

7

Soma, bring down the foeman's might, his vigorous strength and vital powe'r,
Whether he be afar or near.
