9,16 Soma Pavamana

9.XVI Soma Pavamana

prá te sotā́ra oṇíyo rásam mádāya ghŕ̥ṣvaye |
sárgo ná takti étaśaḥ ||

1 THE pressers from the Soma-press send forth thy juice for rapturous joy The speckled sap runs like a flood.

krátvā dákṣasya rathíyam apó vásānam ándhasā |
goṣā́m áṇveṣu saścima ||

2 With strength we follow through the sieve him who brings might and wins the kine, Enrobed in water with his juice.

ánaptam apsú duṣṭáraṃ sómam pavítra ā́ sr̥ja |
punīhī́ndrāya pā́tave ||

3 Pour on the sieve the Soma, ne’er subdued in waters, waterless, And make it pure for Indra's drink.

prá punānásya cétasā sómaḥ pavítre arṣati |
krátvā sadhástham ā́sadat ||

4 Moved by the purifier's thought, the Soma flows into the sieve: By wisdom it hath gained its home.

prá tvā námobhir índava índra sómā asr̥kṣata |
mahé bhárāya kāríṇaḥ ||

5 With humble homage, Indra, have the Soma-drops flowed forth to thee, Contending for the glorious prize.

punānó rūpé avyáye víśvā árṣann abhí śríyaḥ |
śū́ro ná góṣu tiṣṭhati ||

6 Purified in his fleecy garb, attaining every beauty, he Stands, hero-like, amid the kine.

divó ná sā́nu pipyúṣī dhā́rā sutásya vedhásaḥ |
vŕ̥thā pavítre arṣati ||

7 Swelling, as ’twere, to heights of heaven, the stream of the creative juice Falls lightly on the cleansing sieve.

tuváṃ soma vipaścítaṃ tánā punāná āyúṣu |
ávyo vā́raṃ ví dhāvasi ||

8 Thus, Soma, purifying himwho knoweth song mid living men, Thou wanderest through the cloth of wool.
