Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 EVEN as a King hath Soma, red and tawny Bull, been pressed: the Wondrous One hath bellowed to the kine. While purified he passes through the filtering fleece to seat him hawk-like on the place that drops with oil.

kavír vedhasyā́ pári eṣi mā́hinam átyo ná mr̥ṣṭó abhí vā́jam arṣasi |
apasédhan duritā́ soma mr̥̄ḷaya+ ghr̥táṃ vásānaḥ pári yāsi nirṇíjam ||

2. To glory goest thou, Sage with disposing skill, like a groomed steed thou rusbest forward to the prize. O Soma, be thou gracious, driving off distress: thou goest, clothed in butter, to a robe of state.

parjányaḥ pitā́ mahiṣásya parṇíno nā́bhā pr̥thivyā́ giríṣu kṣáyaṃ dadhe |
svásāra ā́po abhí gā́ utā́saran sáṃ grā́vabhir nasate vīté adhvaré ||

3 Parjanya is the Father of the Mighty Bird: on mountains, in earth's centre hath he made his home. The waters too have flowed, the Sisters, to the kine: he meets the pressing-stones at the beloved rite.

jāyéva pátyāv ádhi śéva maṃhase pájrāyā garbha śr̥ṇuhí brávīmi te |
antár vā́ṇīṣu prá carā sú jīváse anindiyó vr̥jáne soma jāgr̥hi ||

4 Thou givest pleasure as a wife delights her lord. Listen, O Child of Pajri, for to thee I speak. Amid the holy songs go on that we may live: in time of trouble, Soma, watch thou free from blame.

yáthā pū́rvebhyaḥ śatasā́ ámr̥dhraḥ sahasrasā́ḥ paryáyā vā́jam indo |
evā́ pavasva suvitā́ya návyase táva vratám ánu ā́paḥ sacante ||

5 As to the men of old thou camest, Indu unharmed, to strengthen, winning hundreds, thousands, So now for new felicity flow onward: the waters follow as thy law ordaineth.
