9,12 Soma Pavamana

9.XII Soma Pavamana

sómā asr̥gram índavaḥ sutā́ r̥tásya sā́dane |
índrāya mádhumattamāḥ ||

1 To Indra have the Soma drops, exceeding rich in sweets, been poured, Shed in the seat of sacrifice.

abhí víprā anūṣata gā́vo vatsáṃ ná mātáraḥ |
índraṃ sómasya pītáye ||

2 As mother kine low to their calves, to Indra have the sages called, Called him to drink the Soma juice.

madacyút kṣeti sā́dane síndhor ūrmā́ vipaścít |
sómo gaurī́ ádhi śritáḥ ||

3 In the stream's wave wise Soma dwells, distilling rapture, in his seat, Resting upon a wi Id-cow's hide.

divó nā́bhā vicakṣaṇó ávyo vā́re mahīyate |
sómo yáḥ sukrátuḥ kavíḥ ||

4 Far-sighted Soma, Sage and Seer, is worshipped in the central point Of heaven, the straining-cloth of wool.

yáḥ sómaḥ kaláśeṣu ā́m̐ antáḥ pavítra ā́hitaḥ |
tám índuḥ pári ṣasvaje ||

5 In close embraces Indu holds Soma when poured within the jars. And on the purifying sieve.

prá vā́cam índur iṣyati samudrásyā́dhi viṣṭápi |
jínvan kóśam madhuścútam ||

6 Indu sends forth a voice on high to regions of the sea of air, Shaking the vase that drops with meath.

nítyastotro vánaspátir dhīnā́m antáḥ sabardúghaḥ |
hinvānó mā́nuṣā yugā́ ||

7 The Tree whose praises never fail yields heavenly milk among our hymns, Urging men's generations on.

abhí priyā́ divás padā́ sómo hinvānó arṣati |
víprasya dhā́rayā kavíḥ ||

8 The Wise One, with the Sage's stream, the Soma urged to speed, flows on To the dear places of the sky.

ā́ pavamāna dhāraya rayíṃ sahásravarcasam |
asmé indo suābhúvam ||

9 O Pavamana, bring us wealth bright with a thousand splendours. Yea. O Indu, give us ready help.
