Mandal - 9 (Part - 9)

HYMN 30 Soma Pavamana

1

STREAMS of this Potent One have flowed easily to the straining-cloth:
While he is cleansed he lifts his voice.

2

Indu, by pressers urged to speed, bellowing out while beautified.
Sends forth a very mighty sound.

3

Pour on us, Soma, with thy stream manconquering might which many crave,
Accompanied with hero sons.

4

Hither hath Pavamana flowed, Soma flowed hither in a stream,
To settle in the vats of wood.

5

To waters with the stones they drive thee tawny-hued, most rich in sweets,
O Indu, to be Indra's drink.

6

For Indra, for the Thunderer press the Soma very rich in sweets,
Lovely, inspiriting, for strength.
