9,22 Soma Pavamana

9.XXII Soma Pavamana

eté sómāsa āśávo ráthā iva prá vājínaḥ |
sárgāḥ sr̥ṣṭā́ aheṣata ||

1 THESE rapid Soma-streams have stirred themselves to motion like strong steeds, Like cars, like armies hurried forth.

eté vā́tā ivorávaḥ parjányasyeva vr̥ṣṭáyaḥ |
agnér iva bhramā́ vŕ̥thā ||

2 Swift as wide winds they lightly move, like rain-storms of Parjanya, like The flickering flames of burning fire.

eté pūtā́ vipaścítaḥ sómāso dádhiāśiraḥ |
vipā́ ví ānaśur dhíyaḥ ||

3 These Soma juices, blent with curds, purified, skilled in sacred hymns, Have gained by song their hearts'desire.

eté mr̥ṣṭā́ ámartiyāḥ sasr̥vā́ṃso ná śaśramuḥ |
íyakṣantaḥ pathó rájaḥ ||

4 Immortal, cleansed, these drops, since first they flowed, have never wearied, fain To reach the regions and their paths.

eté pr̥ṣṭhā́ni ródasor viprayánto ví ānaśuḥ |
utédám uttamáṃ rájaḥ ||

5 Advancing they have travelled o’er the ridges of the earth and heaven, And this the highest realm of all.

tántuṃ tanvānám uttamám ánu praváta āśata |
utédám uttamā́yiyam ||

6 Over the heights have they attained the highest thread that is spun out, And this which must be deemed most high.

tuváṃ soma paṇíbhya ā́ vásu gávyāni dhārayaḥ |
tatáṃ tántum acikradaḥ ||

7 Thou, Soma, boldest wealth in kine which thou hast seized from niggard churls: Thou calledst forth the outspun thread.
