Rig Veda

Mandal - 9 (Part - 9)

HYMN 28 Soma Pavamana

1

URGED by the men, this vigorous Steed, Lord of the mind, Omniscient,
Runs to the woollen straining-cloth.

2

Within the filter hath he flowed, this Soma for the Gods effused,
Entering all their essences.

3

He shines in beauty there, this God Immortal in his dwelling-place,
Foe-slayer, dearest to the Gods.

4

Directed by the Sisters ten, bellowing on his way this Steer
Runs onward to the wooden vats.

5

This Pavamana, swiftand strong, Omniscient, gave spleudour to
The Sun and all his forms of light.

6

This Soma being purified, flows mighty and infallible,
Slayer of sinners, dear to Gods.
