HYMN 34 Soma Pavamana

1

THE drop of Soma juice effused flows onward with this stream impelled.
Rending strong places with its might.

2

Poured forth to Indra, Varuna, to Vayu and the Marut hosts,
To Visnu, flows the Soma juice.

3

With stones they press the Soma forth, the Strong conducted by the strong:
They milk the liquor out with skill.

4

'Tis he whom Trita must refine, 'tis he who shall make Indra glad:
The Tawny One is decked with tints.

5

Him do the Sons of Prsni milk, the dwelling-place of sacrifice,
Oblation lovely and most dear.

6

To him in one unitcd stream th-,se songs flow on straight forward. he,
Loud voiced, hath made the milch-kine low.
