Rig Veda

Mandal - 9 (Part - 9)

HYMN 47 Soma Pavamana

1

GREAT as he was, Soma hath gained strength by this high solemnity:
joyous he riseth like a bull.

2

His task is done: his crushings of the Dasyus are made manifest:
He sternly reckoneth their debts.

3

Soon as his song of praise is born, the Soma, Indra's juice, becomes
A thousand-winning thunderbolt.

4

Seer and Sustainer, he himself desireth riches for the sage
When he embellisheth his songs.

5

Fain would they both win riches as in races of the steeds. In war
Thou art upon the conquerors' side.
