HYMN 12 Soma Pavamana

1

Hence sprinkle forth the juice effused, Soma, the best of sacred gifts,
Who, friend of man, hath run among the water-streams He hath pressed Soma out with stones.

2

Now, being purified, flow hither through the fleece, invincible and more odorous!
We joy in thee in waters when thou art effused, blending thee still with juice and milk.

3

Pressed out for all to see, delighting Gods, Indu, far-seeing one, is mental power.
