Rig Veda

Mandal - 9 (Part - 9)

HYMN 26 Soma Pavamana

1

THE sages with the fingers' art have dressed and decked that vigorous Steed
Upon the lap of Aditi,

2

The kine have called aloud to him exhaustless with a thousand streams,
To Indu who supporteth heaven.

3

Him, nourisher of many, Sage, creative Pavamana, they
Have sent, by wisdom, to the sky.

4

Him, dweller with Vivasvan, they with use of both arms have sent forth,
The Lord of Speech infallible.

5

Him, green, beloved, many eyed, the Sisters with prosing stones
Send down to ridges of the sieve.

6

O Pavamana, Indu, priests hurry thee on to Indra, thee
Who aidest song and cheerest him.
