Rig Veda

Mandal - 9 (Part - 9)

HYMN 56 Soma Pavamana

1

SWIFT to the purifying sieve flows Soma as exalted Law,
Slaying the fiends, loving the Gods.

2

When Soma pours the strengthening food a hundred ever-active streams
To Indra's friendship win theirway.

3

Ten Dames have sung to welcome thee, even as a maiden greets her love:
O Soma, thou art decked to win.

4

Flow hitherward, O Indu, sweet to Indra and to Visnu: guard
The men, the singers, from distress.
