Rig Veda

Mandal - 9 (Part - 9)

HYMN 27 Soma Pavamana

1

THIS Sage, exalted by our lauds, flows to the purifying cloth,
Scattering foes as he is cleansed.

2

As giving power and winning light, for Indra and for Vayu he
Is poured upon the filtering-cloth.

3

The men conduct him, Soma, Steer, Omniscient, and the Head of Heaven,
Effused into the vats of wood.

4

Longing for kine, longing for gold hath Indu Pavamana lowed,
Still Conqueror, never overcome.

5

This Pavamana, gladdening draught, drops on the filtering cloth, and then
Mounts up with Surya to the sky.

6

To Indra in the firmament this mighty tawny Steer hath flowed,
This Indu, being purified.
