1 FOR holy lore of every sort, flow onward thou whom all men love. A Friend to be besought by friends.

tā́bhyāṃ víśvasya rājasi yé pavamāna dhā́manī |

2 O'er all thou rulest with these Two which, Soma Pavamana, stand, Turned, as thy stations, hitherward.

4 Flow onward, generating food, for precious boons of every kind, A Friend for friends, to be our help.

5 Upon the lofty ridge of heaven thy bright rays with their essences, Soma, spread purifying power.

távemé saptá síndhavaḥ praśíṣaṃ soma sisrate |
túbhyaṃ dhāvanti dhenávaḥ ||

6 O Soma, these Seven Rivers flow, as being thine, to give command: The Streams of milk run forth to thee.

prá soma yāhi dhā́rayā sutá índrāya matsaráḥ |
dádhāno ákṣiti śrávaḥ ||

7 Flow onward, Soma in a stream, effused to gladden Indra's heart, Bringing imperishable fame.

sám u tvā dhībhír asvaran hinvatī́ḥ saptá jāmáyaḥ |
vípram ājā́ vivásvataḥ ||

8 Driving thee in Vivasvān's course, the Seven Sisters with their hymns Made melody round thee the Sage.

mr̥jánti tvā sám agrúvo ávye jīrā́v ádhi ṣváṇi |
rebhó yád ajyáse váne ||

9 The virgins deck thee o’er fresh streams to drive thee to the sieve when thou, A singer, bathest in the wood.

pávamānasya te kave vā́jin sárgā asr̥kṣata |
árvanto ná śravasyávaḥ ||

10 The streams of Pavamana, thine, Sage, Mighty One, have pouredthem forth. Like coursers eager for renown.

áchā kóśam madhuścútam ásr̥graṃ vā́re avyáye |
ávāvaśanta dhītáyaḥ ||

11 They have been poured upon the fleece towards the meath-distilling vat: The holy songs have sounded forth.

áchā samudrám índavo ástaṃ gā́vo ná dhenávaḥ |
ágmann r̥tásya yónim ā́ ||

12 Like milch-kine coming home, the drops of Soma juice have reached the lake, Have reached the place of sacrifice.

prá ṇa indo mahé ráṇa ā́po arṣanti síndhavaḥ |
yád góbhir vāsayiṣyáse ||

13 O Indu, to our great delight the running waters flow to us, When thou wilt robe thyself in milk.

ásya te sakhiyé vayám íyakṣantas tuvótayaḥ |
índo sakhitvám uśmasi ||

14 In this thy friendship, and with thee to help us, fain to sacrifice, Indu, we crave thy friendly love.

ā́ pavasva gáviṣṭaye mahé soma nr̥cákṣase |
éndrasya jaṭháre viśa ||

15 Flow on, O Soma, for the great Viewer of men, for gain of Idne Enter thou into Indra's throat.

mahā́m̐ asi soma jyéṣṭha ugrā́ṇām inda ójiṣṭhaḥ |
yúdhvā sáñ cháśvaj jigetha ||

16 Best art thou, Soma, of the great, Strongest of strong ones, Indu: thou As Warrior ever hast prevailed.

yá ugrébhyaś cid ójīyāñ chū́rebhyaś cic chū́rataraḥ |
bhūridā́bhyaś cin máṃhīyān ||

17 Mightier even than the strong, more valiant even than the brave, More libpral than the bountiful,

tuváṃ soma sū́ra éṣas tokásya sātā́ tanū́nām |
vr̥ṇīmáhe sakhiyā́ya vr̥ṇīmáhe yújiyāya ||

18 Soma, as Sūra, bring us food, win offspring of our bodies: we Elect thee for our friendship, we elect thee for companionship.

ágna ā́yūṃṣi pavasa ā́ suvórjam íṣaṃ ca naḥ |
āré bādhasva duchúnām ||

19 Agni, thou pourest life; send down upon us food and vigorous strength; Drive thou misfortune far away,

agnír ŕ̥ṣiḥ pávamānaḥ pā́ñcajanyaḥ puróhitaḥ |
tám īmahe mahāgayám ||

20 Agni is Pavamana, Sage, Chief Priest of all the Races Five: To him whose wealth is great we pray.

ágne pávasva suápā asmé várcaḥ suvī́riyam |
dádhad rayím máyi póṣam ||

21 Skilled in thy task, O Agni, pour splendour with hero strength on us, Granting me wealth that nourishes.

pávamāno áti srídho abhí arṣati suṣṭutím |
sū́ro ná viśvádarśataḥ ||

22 Beyond his enemies away to sweet praise Pavamana flows, Like Sūrya visible to all.

sá marmr̥jāná āyúbhiḥ práyasvān práyase hitáḥ |
índur átyo vicakṣaṇáḥ ||

23 Adorned by living men, set forth for entertainment, rich in food, Far-sighted Indu is a Steed.

pávamāna r̥tám br̥hác chukráṃ jyótir ajījanat |
kr̥ṣṇā́ támāṃsi jáṅghanat ||

24 He, Pavamana, hath produced the lofty Law, the brilliant light, Destroying darkness black of hue.

pávamānasya jáṅghnato háreś candrā́ asr̥kṣata |
jīrā́ ajiráśociṣaḥ ||

25 From tawny Pavamana, the Destroyer, radiant streams have sprung, Quick streams from him whose gleams are swift.

pávamāno rathī́tamaḥ śubhrébhiḥ śubhráśastamaḥ |
háriścandro marúdgaṇaḥ ||

26 Best rider of the chariot, praised with fairest praise mid beauteous ones, Gold-gleaming with the Marut host,

pávamāno ví aśnavad raśmíbhir vājasā́tamaḥ |
dádhat stotré suvī́riyam ||

27 May Pavamana, best to win the booty, penetrate with rays, Giving the singer hero strength.

prá suvāná índur akṣāḥ pavítram áti avyáyam |
punāná índur índram ā́ ||

28 Over the fleecy sieve hath flowed the drop effused: to Indra comes Indu while he is purified

eṣá sómo ádhi tvací gávāṃ krīḷati ádribhiḥ |
índram mádāya jóhuvat ||

29 This Soma, through the pressing-stones, is sporting on the oxhide, and Summoning Indra to the draught.

yásya te dyumnávat páyaḥ pávamānā́bhr̥taṃ diváḥ |
téna no mr̥̄ḷa+ jīváse ||

30 O Pavamana, bless us, so that we may live, with that bright milk Of thine which hath been brought from heaven.
