HYMN 8 Soma Pavamana

1

Flow onward with that stream wherewith thou gavest splendour to the sun,
Speeding the waters kind to man!

2

He, Pavamana, high o'er man, yoked the Sun's courser Etasa,
To travel through the realm of air.

3

Yea, those bay steeds he harnessed to the chariot that the Sun might come:
Indu, he said, is Indra's self.
