Rig Veda

Mandal - 9 (Part - 9)

HYMN 25 Soma Pavamana

1

GREEN-HUED! as one who giveth strength flow on for Gods to drink, a draught
For Vayu and the Marut host.

2

O Pavamana, sent by song, roaring about thy dwelling-place,
Pass into Vayu as Law bids.

3

The Steer shines with the Deities, dear Sage in his appointed home,
Foe-Slayer, most beloved by Gods.

4

Taking each beauteous form, he goes, desirable, while purified,
Thither where- the Immortals sit.

5

To Indra Soma flows, the Red, engendering song, exceeding wise,
The visitor of living men.

6

Flow, best exhilarator, Sage, flow to the filter in a stream
To seat thee in the place of song.
