1 THESE rapid Soma-drops have been poured through the purifying sieve To bring us all felicities.

vighnánto duritā́ purú sugā́ tokā́ya vājínaḥ |
tánā kr̥ṇvánto árvate ||

2 Dispelling manifold mishap, giving the courser's progeny, Yea, and the warrior steed, success.

kr̥ṇvánto várivo gáve abhí arṣanti suṣṭutím |

3 Bringing prosperity to kine, they make perpetual Iḷā flow To us for noble eulogy.

śyenó ná yónim ā́sadat ||

4 Strong, mountain-born, the stalk hath been pressed in the streams for rapturous joy: Hawk-like he settles in his home.

śubhrám ándho devávātam apsú dhūtó nŕ̥bhiḥ sutáḥ |
svádanti gā́vaḥ páyobhiḥ ||

5 Fair is the God-loved juice; the plant is washed in waters, pressed by men The milch-kine sweeten it with milk.

ā́d īm áśvaṃ ná hétāro áśūśubhann amŕ̥tāya |
mádhvo rásaṃ sadhamā́de ||

6 As drivers deck a courser, so have they adorned the meath's juice for Ambrosia, for the festival.

yā́s te dhā́rā madhuścúto ásr̥gram inda ūtáye |
tā́bhiḥ pavítram ā́sadaḥ ||

7 Thou, Indu, with thy streams that drop sweet juices, which were poured for help, Hast settled in the cleansing sieve.

só arṣéndrāya pītáye tiró rómāṇi avyáyā |
sī́dan yónā váneṣu ā́ ||

8 So flow thou onward through the fleece, for Indra flow, to be his drink, Finding thine home in vats of wood.

varivovíd ghr̥tám páyaḥ ||

16 Pressed by the men, as ’twere to war hath Soma Pavamana sped, To test with might within the vats.

táṃ tripr̥ṣṭhé trivandhuré ráthe yuñjanti yā́tave |
ŕ̥ṣīṇāṃ saptá dhītíbhiḥ ||

17 That he may move, they yoke him to the three-backed triple-seated car By the Seven Ṛṣis’ holy songs.

háriṃ hinota vājínam ||

18 Drive ye that Tawny Courser, O ye pressers, on his way to war, Swift Steed who carries off the spoil.

āviśán kaláśaṃ sutó víśvā árṣann abhí śríyaḥ |
śū́ro ná góṣu tiṣṭhati ||

19 Pouring all glories hither, he, effused and entering the jar, Stands like a hero mid the kine.
