Rig Veda

Mandal - 9 (Part - 9)

HYMN 54 Soma Pavamana

1

AFTER his ancient splendour, they, the bold, have drawn the bright milk from
The Sage who wins a thousand gifts.

2

In aspect he is like the Sun; he runneth forward to the lakes,
Seven currents flowing through the sky.

3

He, shining in his splendour, stands high over all things that exist-
Soma, a God as Surya is.

4

Thou, Indu, in thy brilliancy, pourest on us, as Indra's Friend,
Wealth from the kine to feast the Gods.
